Threads Of Lies

Threads Of Lies

A Poem by L.G. Knight

Sometimes 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.
