The Liars Crown
The Liars Crown
A child looked toward a man
Who would not let him feel
He buried his emotions
Was unsure what was real
This is how he learned to live
Heart numb behind the grin
How he lied to try and hide
The pain he felt within
For every joke and smile
The lies began to grow
Until he was a stranger
Himself he did not know
Life became a tragedy
A race to reach the end
Blinded to integrity
The truth would always bend
So teach your children honesty
Embrace the inner child
Nurture their emotions
So they’re not running wild
And to believe that honesty
Is what everybody mourns
When they look upon the man
Beneath the crown of thorns
