Lie



To live a lie is impossible,
It implies that we live just one,
But we know that we live lies aplenty
Because it is so much fun.
We lie as we breathe,
We lie as we sleep,
And lie to those we love.
Deception is the most common of creeds
Because truth is not always enough.
A dream is a lie, for it is not real,
But to dream is honest
As it shows how we truly feel.
Remember to lie cautiously
Or things become rather bizarre.
Although truth is not as common

Lies show who we really are.
