My Life As a Lie
I cried but you couldn't hear the
sobs
the tears were there but never shed,
I was confined within my pain
and only lived, the life created in my
head.
I convinced only myself
that I wasn't who everyone claimed
I felt I was pure with intention
and everything gone wrong
I had someone else to blame.
and they were the ones with
conditions.
I lived in a fantasy of deception
only I understood what mystifies
the rest
I thought the world was completely
wrong
and alone I stood when everyone
left.
I become content with being alone
because friends and family never
existed
It was my mind that twisted my
heart
thinking I was the only one who
didn't have
corupt intentions….
I had the time to analyze
sit back and replay it all in my mind
I caught myself pressing pause on
my memories
and then a memory brought tears to
my eyes
as In my head I would press
rewind
seeing me destroying my life .
I couldn't bring myself to accept the
proof
as it was played over and over for
my eyes
I fought what was proven to be
considered truth
and Concluded that I was the only
person who
was convinced of the lies.
