When The Truth Is, A Lie

When The Truth Is, A Lie

A Poem by therisa
"

A young lady was exposed here, posing a victim of abuse, when she wasn't.

"

Can

Someone

Please tell me.


Why

Some people

Feel this need

To fabricate lies

About themselves?


By

Inventing

Tragic events

Or horrible diseases

Plaguing them.


In order

To callously play

With our heartstrings

For their tainted needs.


As we

Impulsively rush

To their aid

Falling hook line

And sinker

For their subterfuge.


Like

Gullible children

Offered free candy

We accept

The bait.


Often

Without thinking

About the possibilities

Of a con game.


I know

As a transgendered person

The dangers and damages

Which these Trolls

Can do.


Playing

Upon the vulnerability

And generosity

Of society

With their honeyed

Tongue.

I am a bleeding heart always I would feel bad for this person ...and I shouldn't I have to toughen up truly but then I think what did a person go through in their life to make them fabricate facts but then I think that is bunk faking something like that distracting from the real need of others...boy I think a lot

Take care and hope your daughter breaks a leg. :)
because they need attention in order to feel adequate....in order to feel a part of things...they don't understand that just living their lives as normal people can be just as enriching as always pleading for attention.
