More Lies


MORE LIES by Rayanna B. 
 
More lies that lead to endless sighs and ongoing whys
 Sometimes I say that my life is perfect even though I know it's not 
I just want my stories to sound hot 
 my friends always tell me "you have the perfect life" so I lie or vaguely agree just going with the flow, you know dotting all the "i"s and crossing every "t"
Maybe one day they will all see that they should want to be anyone but little old me 
I'm that hopeless shell that's at the bottom of the sea 
So anxious to see what fun life could actually be, frankly sometimes I just don't know why I lie sometimes it just seems right just to give this story or even that story a try 
Hopefully one day I will say bye bye to these endless sighs and ongoing whys and just count to five while watching that exciting life of more lies pass me by
