Do you want to know the best way to hide the lies?

Do you want to know the best way to hide the lies?

Tell as much of the truth as you can bare,

Be seen to be the ones who's "alive" and "happy",

"Well adjusted", "Socialised", and "All there."

Be as honest as you can be,

Don't create a lie that doesn't need to exist, 

Live every day at least with them there, 

As if it is one you'd be sad to miss. 

Listen when spoken to, 

Make sure you speak,

Be strong in what you know, 

And fake strength where you are weak

Do you want to know the best way to hide the lies?

Hide them in the truth, no one looks there,

If they think they know you, no one will care, 

If it's the real you, that you choose to share.

BRILLIANT!
As a person who is not a fan of lies at all, this piece really spoke to me on a personal level. Lots of good lessons in this one as well, lessons and morals so many people need to adhere to in order to make this world a better place on a social level.

One thing... I believe there is a spelling error. Second stanza, third line. I believe "everyday" should be "every day".

Keep posting these amazing poems!

This is such a beautiful piece of writing. I especially love the last stanza. A universal message conveyed beautifully and explicitly. Great work!
