Lost Identity
*Author's note. Just my interpretation on what I think would happen to me if I were to start telling lies.
I once told a lie
Which led to one
after another
Being told
And before I knew it
I was lost in my lies
I'd wake up in the morning
Look at myself in the mirror
And see a stranger,
Wearing my clothes
There began to be
truth in my lies
And lies in my truth
The two had become connected
And intertwined so tightly
That I had lost sight of who I was
Somehow, somewhere
Lost in my lies,
I'd lost my identity.
