I lied today
To save my pride.
Now there’re more truths
To catch and hide.
I hate lying.
It’s innovation
Which needs constant
Manipulation.
I lied to thwart
Being lied about;
Unused to shams,
I’m filled with doubt.
Did I’ve to lie
To those I know well?
I feel as though
I am in hell.
I’m snared by pride:
An obligation;
Now I need a way
Out of this situation.
