Hey this is my first post on wattpad and I'm just figuring out how it works and yeah so bare with me ;)
A lie is like a creature
it starts off small
but it builds and gets bigger
it grows stronger and larger
it multiplies too
until it's too much for you
and you start to lose track
of what lies you've told
they start to get old
some of them die down
unnoticed and unfound.
But others live on
a constant nagging
at the back of your mind
scratching into your skull
a constant reminder
of the truth you didn't tell
and the guilt eats away
all because of one lie
that you told because...
...why?
You didn't want to tell the truth?
So this thing was produced
this monster: a lie
a powerful beast
that tears up your life
and fills you with the dread
that someone will find out
all the lies that you tell
all the things that you've said....
And it was all because of one
small lie that you told
that lead you into this mess
of lies growing strong
they're now stronger than you
there's too many to
get rid of them now
it's too late to tell
the truth that you now
can't remember at all
because you became so involved
with the cover-ups
the lies
the stories
to hide behind
when from the start of this mess
you could've just said
the truth and then dealt
with the consequences.
But no
you chose the rockier path
of stress and pain
the lies
that feel like a game.
Because in a way they are -
the lies -
playing games
making you think
of more and more of them
so that when you run out
of lies to tell
and the truths unfolds,
unravels from where
you shoved them
in the back of your head
where they were nagging
and scratching
they will watch you
feel the wrath
of consequence.
And the lies
will laugh in your face
at your foolishness
for thinking so little
of what it would mean to lie.
Because a lie is like a creature
it starts off small
but it builds and gets bigger
which is why you shouldn't lie.
Author's note:
