Lies

Although we try to hide from it

It always seems to find our ears

You hear them, and want to forget

But they stay there over the years

It changes people, for better or worse

It brings out who you really are

They break you and change your course

And you always wonder how many you've heard so far

I've heard plenty throughout my days

My mind absorbing them like a sponge

I want them to go away, but I know they are here to stay

With no hope to expunge

No matter what I hear, no matter what you do

My favorite lie is "I love you"
