Liar
The lies leave a bad taste in my mouth
All those words wasted
Just to save the sorry web
I've trapped myself in

Weighing me

These half-truths formed as a shield
Boxing me into this semblance of someone I'm not
Sticking me in this infernal costume

At what cost do these words come
Hateful
Deceiving
Tricking the people closest
Who hold me up
Liar.
