A Web of Lies

A web of lies

surround my heart

I'm scared that I 

will fall apart;

break down, give in

and lose this game

of who can keep up

this false facade

of pure perfection

and utter strength

no room for errors

and no mistakes;

I'm getting tired

of holding up

this fake mask

I might give up;

show my whole self

with flaws and all;

but I think I'm ready

to take the fall.

Everyone hides their true selves at times it is a natural defence mechanism only as you say it makes one false and that is never a good thing for lies only end up hurting us and the ones around us. Nicely penned, keep em' coming

This is a good poem. One thing though, "Scarfed" should probably be "scared". Great rhythm and word choice! Nice Job!

A good poem about lie. Strikes me because I just wrote a poem about lie also, yesterday. What you wrote is true. Good write and keep it up.
