Untold Lies

Untold Lies

A Poem by Niënna Maeve

You try to find a way to tell
But all the ways you find lead straight to hell
Caught up in your own suffocating lies
Hiding the truth between well written lines
As long as no one sees the real you
But you're the only one you need to remain true to

Nevermind the tears you cry
You're living with an untold lie
No one cares for the pain inside
So why would you even bother?

The reflection in the mirror shows what others want to see
You're facing someone you never wanted to be
Killing yourself with the truth written on your wrist
The person underneath the mask doesn't even exist

Nevermind the tears you cry
You're living with an untold lie
No one cares for the pain inside
So why would you even bother?

Anger, resentment and that 'you got what you had coming for you' sorta feel comes out in this poem.
I might be interpreting wrong. Either way, it's a great poem.
The rhyming scheme is really well used.
"Caught up in your own suffocating lies
Hiding the truth between well written lines" - I really liked this part, the rhyme was slick and smart.
Spelling mistake - "The person underneath the mask doesn't even excist"
excist should be exist.
Otherwise great write, you did it really well.

Yours truly,
