Lies consume all

I feel that people don't realize that when they lie they really are trapping themselves and i believe we all reach a point to where your lie consumes you and you become the lie.

I'm walking down this road
But I feel so alone
Not a light to see
Even worse it's unknown 

The wind  is chilling
My heart is racing
I know it's a dream.   
 it's one I don't want to be facing

For reality is tough
But this is much worse
I've ran for so long 
My lies I rehearse 

lies aren't accepted here
For I know what is true 
You can't lie to yourself
And you'd certainly be lying to you

This is my hell 
At least the hell in my sleep 
I can hide in life 
But then this torture I keep

I can't make out where I'm going
It's a path these lies have lead 
I feel as if i can't return 
And more lies have to be fed 

Sleep is but a punishment
When I wake up in a sweat 
I wonder if truth can set me free
Or if my ways have been set 

I've been running for so long
My lies I rehearse 
I want a way out
I know it's only getting worse

I did it I'll shout
I'll tell the truth
I don't want to run 
I'm wasting my youth 

But it is still to late
For lies do consume all
Eventually your lies do as you 
And take you down as they fall

This was really something to think about.
It was quite a sight to see the subconscious
manifest without interruption.

[Im a reel vamp lover]

like it. i think it tells the truth that other people don't.

like this, i just got done writing a poem about lying. I can relate to this one. wonderful rhyme scheme and flow going as well.
