How To Lie

An experienced liar,

My life is not my own.

Unkempt, uncaring, most of all alone.

Hate the mirror with intensity.

Going about "normal" school life,

living an embellished lie.

Everyone is a stranger,

Most abhorred.

Little friends,

Brief conversations at most.

Romance is a thing unknown.

Pointless comes to mind, refined apathy. 

Unused talent festers while possiblities escape.

Looking for an out, a passion.

Turn around,

Spot one open door among millions closed.

Time to act.
