The truth about lies
Polishing the truth to enhance the facts
Telling people what they want to hear
However you want to gloss it over
Lying to others is lying to yourself
Big lies little lies are the same
People just stop believing you
You ultimately lose their trust
And turn into a persona non grata
Respect is something you earn
You have to have if for yourself
Before others can respect you
Be truthful honest and real.
Be the best person you can be.
