Liar Liar


I am an impressive liar

I lie everyday

to everyone and everything

I can even convince myself of some of my lies

 

These lies are pretty convincing

and have made me tell much more

I do dangerous things for the thrill

And I have never told another soul

 

The lies cause my scars

my addiction

and depression

though I never feel guilty telling them

 

The truth is

No one would even take a look

at the real me

if they knew about

my sexuality
