Lies

Lies are like little excuses
We use once in awhile 
To pardon our errors
Or get ourselves out of trouble.

Lies are like a life saver
It buys you sometime
It relieves pressure lessens the pain
Gives you the opportunity to re-invent another. 

Lies if we are not careful
Can become an addiction
You may choose to ignore it
but lies is another form of personal entrapment.
