Lies, lies, and more lies.



Every day I wake up to a lie.
"I love you."
No, you don't.
Go to sleep with a lie.
"I love you."
No, you don't.
Good try though.
Lord knows the million words coming out of your mouth daily is all lies.
Why can't you just be honest with me?
I'm way too understanding.
I put myself in these stupid situations where I give out way too many chances.
How come?
I believe it's because of my fucked-up past.
Do I get those same chances though?
No.
Of course, I wouldn't!
When is enough, enough?
There's got to be a limit of dealing with it.
I think I've finally reached mine.
I'm done.
Go and take your lies and feed them to someone else!

    When you take all the guesswork out of it, this is the result. Take them to task and watch them scurry like the shits they are. Clearly we've all bullshitted at times, but it's the unnecessary lies of those claiming to love us that gets me. The best news about the liars is that they're forced to live with their affliction until it ruins one too many souls and they find themselves alone wondering what went wrong. In the end you can't bullshit results. Great work, Kenya. Thank you.
