Because of Lies

The sleeves are just a doorway
To the torment I’ve been through
If you were to lift them up
You might just get a clue

The smile I wear is fake
It’s just another lie
But it’s better to wear one
Than let you know I cry

The thoughts are always rushing
About what I do not know
If you knew, you’d give me meds
And say that would stop the flow

My life is just a secret
That I keep from one and all
It’s just a bunch of lies
Told to you until I finally fall

It’s just words that you hear
To keep you off my back
So when I do die
You won’t know the happiness I lacked

You would be oblivious
To everything about me
You would only know the lies
That I allowed you to see

Upon my grave you’d have the name
That I let you know me by
But since you found that I was deceitful
You won’t go there to cry

You go there with a question
Running through your mind
“Who are you and what’s true about you”
And an answer you’d look to find

But never will the answer come
For I have given too many lies
And for this simple reason
For me, no one cries

I wrote this in the middle of the night, so sorry if it’s a little bad. Let me know what you think! Thanks!
