There are lies carved into your skin,

Echoed words pressed deep within.

Do you love them? Are they your own?

Seeds of deceit so carefully grown.


Or do you trust them? Each word

Echoed in yourself, meaning unheard.

Tell me, if you dare to truly believe

In your own lie, will it still deceive?


You're a type of poetry all by yourself.

Rich if empty words were wealth.

You're so full of beauty and trust,

But thin by wear and frail by rust.
