Threads Of LiesA Poem by L.G. KnightSometimes I over analyze, See myself through others eyes. Sometimes I don't like what I see, But it's me gotta let it be.
Mistakes are made, lessons learned, Make them again and ask to be burned. I am who I am, take it or leave it. Backstabbing BS? Man I don't need it.
I show myself true. Not like you.
Lies and deceptions are not the plan, I won't apologize for being who I am. You see what you see, its not my fault. I don't hide the true me, or lock her in a vault.
Feelings true and honest were built on Lies Lies you wear like a disguise. You hide who you are, but finally I see, And turn away it's not for me.
Emotions flood behind a Gate, Love so true Layered with hate
My head is in turmoil I can't find the truth. Am I so stuck on the love of my youth, That I can't trust what offered to me, I can't take the hand, held out so free?
Mistakes are made, lessons learned, Can't take any chances of getting burned. So I hide from the light and sit in the dark It may not be right but I can't risk my heart.
You see now what you did to me, With your lies and deceptions I didn't see? I trust the bad, Mistrust the good, Nothing seems to go as it should.
I can't bounce back like you expect of me, I can't ease your guilt or set your conscience free. That's not my job, you see?
I was who I am, but am no longer who I was, Who I was, was lost, Buried in disastrous Love.
So now I over analyze, see others through a screen in my eyes A screen you built with threads of lies. © 2008 L.G. KnightAuthor's Note
