Why is everything so fucked up

Why does everyone lie

Why are they scared to be

Who they are inside

I don’t believe a word you say

I see the truth in your eyes

I don’t believe the words you speak

All that comes out are lies

All the secrets that surround you

All the lies in which you hide

All the truth that swirls around you

And the deceit that’s in your mind

Cause I don’t believe a word you say

And I see the truth in your eyes

I don’t want to hear the words you speak

All that comes out are lies

You are trapped in your deception

Trapped in your web of lies

Trapped in everyone’s spite of you

Trapped: Open Your F*****g Eyes!

Outstanding! Not to offend, but God basically says the same thing in the Bible. So you are amazingly truthful. I'll pass this on to my friends to read. Great job.

Thank you so much :))

This is spot on. I really feel this poem because I think society has become so fake. People are always trying to be convinced to be something they're not, and it's wrong. Excellent poem.

[Darkgirl]

I agree and thank you :)

Felt it. I don't believe you can go wrong when you write from the heart and communicate emotion. Nicely done.

[Darkgirl]

Thank you :)

That's ok Darkgirl....you didn't overdo it, and it rammed home the emotion you were/are feeling....
Using the F-bomb to drive home a point is perfectly acceptable...It's using it every other word that it loses its affect.
It's perfectly alright to express how you feel in a given moment...that's what we do...
I'm sure your readers felt your pain...your angst...your cynicism. I know I did...however, not all people lie
(well... that might be a lie)...it's being able to acknowledge them, apologize, and learn from the mistake.
I'm still learning....
Loved the write, Dark

We're all screwed up to some degree..best advice here...wait for a beautiful heart...everything else will just leave you empty in the long run...better to be lonely than broken..and trust me...I know that.
Enjoyed your bitterness and pain..it is quite familiar.

I learned that as well, however oddly enough this was wrote more over a betrayal of a friend not a love interest. But thank you for the kind words :)

Brutal.Shocking.Amazing. The fact that you do use bad words shows how sincere you are in your writing...(see, it doesn't always have to be a bad thing :P) and conveys perfectly your message of not hiding behind our shadows and stop wearing masks.

I also like the second verse where you talk about seeing the truth in the eyes because I have always been a strong believer that the eyes reveal our deepest and darkest emotions...

Great write. A pleasure to read you.

I agree, and thank you very much

Relevant, poignant. my review:

Maybe she will comeback
to see what she’s been missing. Maybe
he will see that
she never left in the first place.

Maybe today will be different. Today
they will applaud your opinion.
to see what others see about you
maybe. They will see it your way.

To come and play among the trees.
Maybe she’ll hold your hand. Tell you
you are not as strange as you think.
Maybe they will open their eyes

Accepting. They will invite you
she will embrace you. Maybe
words won’t lie when they speak
But they do. And she won’t.
