That Is Why You Lie
You’ve felt so ashamed
So unjustified
It pains to explain
And that’s why you lie
Everyday it’s a battle
That no one can see
Your glass looks half full
But is nearly empty
You come up short
Letting others down
The tasks you abort
Litter the ground
The critique that you hear
Is multiplied by ten
Yet falls on deaf ears
Til you hear it again
The boredom is real
Though, so much to do
The onion, you peel
Has you constantly blue
Too much to take in
Whether bad or good
It’s hard to keep friends
When, misunderstood
You feel undeserving
You’re undignified
The truth is unnerving
And that’s why you lie
