The Truth I Also a Lie

The truth is also a lie .

Falling through, 
an infinite pit of lies.
Absorbed into the, 
brightness of its, 
dark soul 
Tearing through the, 
the strings of hope, 
that we clutched to 

Darker it gets, 
flinging us further, 
away from the truth. 
We breathe in lies, 
because,
 we ran out of truth .
They keep resounding, 
their emptiness in ,
our eyes
And lose the speck of hope, 
in our hearts 

The sun, 
set never to rise again.
 Behind it's shadows, 
we lie to rely on lies, 
fed to us by, 
the cupidity of superiority 
We are blinded, 
by the brightness, 
of the darkness,
the lies reflect 

We keep falling, 
for lies, 
because we forget, 
we are the bottom, 
of the pit. 
The truth is shadowed, 
by the fear, 
that encroaches, 
on our courage 

We now mourn, 
the acrimonies of, 
the solemn lies deeper, 
than the truth left, 
in forlon hope, 
because, 
we look up to the lies.
