The Art of Lying

Lying,

Though it is used to get yourself out of a bad situation.

It usually leaves you worse off than you started.

If you tell to many lies it will entangle you in a web of frauds and misgivings,

When this happens only one way will get you out again.

To admit,

To admit to the lies you told and hope you have forgiving people around you.

If you choose not to admit then so be it,

You will be caught eventually.

It's impossible to keep up false identities forever.

You will be caught,

And when you do you will have to,

Confess.

Very true and well written. I like how it was a different subject than what I normally see on this website. One tiny pointless correction: third line: if you tell to many should be too many. :) See tiny! Very good! I really enjoyed reading this! Great write and keep on writing! :)

True and wonderful. I loved it because so many people lie. Sometimes I hate it, sometimes I don't. I don't know why. Anyways, a wonderful poem. I loved it.
