Darrell Hoover Poet Free verse

Lies

I rang the bell, but it made no sound...
 I fell on my face, but not to the ground...
 I cried out to god, but she was gone...
 I sang all the words but not the song...
 I wept without a single tear..
 I was afraid without a single fear...
 I screamed out in a muted pain...
 I soaked in the storm but not in the rain...
 I wish I was me but someone else...
 I wish I could reach that gun on the shelf...
 I am sick as a dog but in perfect health...
 I'm a raging moron; thoughtful and wise...
 And if you believe that, I have plenty more lies...
