poetry that I have created

Lies

Spread the word, tell everyone

Tell a secret, but not to the secret-teller

Everyone is watching, is no one listening?

The truth is not as exciting as a lie.

A lie can be huge, or a white one.

The truth is simple and most of the time plain;

The lie can be what you want.

Once you tell it,

You have to believe it.

Making others believe it is the real trick.

Listen to others.

Keep your eyes off the ground.

Palms are sweaty

You got that nervous twitch

Someone wonders why,

Why you told their secrets.

Why did you lie?
