Stop Lying

Lying to our self
The fruits are a product of the tree
It’s so obvious  
That’s the tragedy

Our body tells a story
That the lies can never hide
You can repeat it all you want
However; lies only fuel a troubled mind

So stop lying to yourself
There’s beauty in the truth
When you practice what you preach
The life you live will be the proof

Honesty is the answer
To curing this self-inflicted disease
Self-compassion
Stop lying – and the truth will set you free
