the lie

A/N:  Most of my poems don't rhyme 

***

Every day I tell a lie

A lie that's so absurd

A little lie in the morning so I can't be heard

A little lie in the evening, a lie with every word

A lie to hide myself and my thoughts from this whole world

But one day I will tell the truth to some passing birds

And they'll screech and stretch their wings and fly away

Away from all they've learned

They will mock me, that's how this is written

But I do not care for they will fade away, and I will keep on burning

A flame not brightly smitten

But still every day I tell a lie 

A lie I don't understand

The birds have it easy, they don't have missing plans

While my wings were clipped long ago and exchanged for hands
