Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

What Lies Beneath the Lies

Beneath the lies is the abyss of all things unknown to others
Experienced by them with their inability to face the truth
Of what they have lived through, seen or done
Protecting each other at all costs, fear of exposure rules
So all this fear based agenda keeps them living a façade
They lie to anyone, everyone, just to keep it all together
As the truth bearer carries the burdens, inside a conscience
All alone, weeps their tears, screams their pain, feels it for them
The very things that lie beneath their lies, the truth bearer carries
--------------------------As they deny -----------------------------
