Untruths

No lies are sweet
Except the ones to lesson harm
These lies are cheap
The ones meant to charm

Lies are usually for self gain
To avoid telling the truth
Not willing to take blame
Commonly done in youth

Lies of fabrication
An imagination out of control
Lies of exaggeration
Are told to strengthen the goal

Whatever the circumstances
 no one can disguise
You may not know by their actions
But You can tell by their eyes
