Lies

Everything you so desperately want to hide
Everything that is hidden deep, deep inside
Struggles to show its ugly or pretty face
And wants your recognition and embrace
Because, without it you are not complete
And everyone somehow knows that you cheat
Eventually, it will conquer and find its way out
With your help, or alone, without any doubt
Perhaps you`ll experience pain and grief
But, finally you won`t feel like a liar or a thief
And you will have more strength and self-belief

I can still remember having secrets as a child and when I finally blurted out my confession I would be so relieved. Another excellent piece.
