Lies

Lies told sometimes we can be so selfish, consumed with only our own needs, those deep inner feelings, desires, wishes which as a result, cause us to cast a lie as seed. Untrue words and phrases said to make it better for ourselves to eradicate any blame on our part to hide a mistake or error shelved; but the lie chokes in our throats and races in our hearts. In the end we fight but pursue giving in as it becomes an uncontrolled seething monster of lore with the lie now growing and evolving into a life so large it is abhorred and now lives in need and necessity of absolving. Upon its display it dies in its fears without recovery failing to safeguard its source escaping reality and at last revealing truth through discovery that we have foolishly created by some unnatural force.
