Liar Liar

They said I didn't know how to lie.

They said I told the truth even when it got me in trouble.

I took pride in that.

But we all know that lies start small.

Call it... half truths.

Bluffs.

We do them every day.

When someone asks you how you are and you say you are feeling fine when really-
you are not.

When someone offers you their snack and you say you're not hungry when you are.

We do it all the time and we think it's okay because- we are trying to protect someone.

These lies roll off your tongue every day.

Sometimes others ask you to lie for them.

When someone calls- tell them I'm not here.

Call work and tell them I'm sick.

These little lies... do you still cringe inside when you say them?

Do you still feel bad for deceiving someone?

When you stop feeling bad, that is when you know you've crossed to the other side.

If you say the lies long enough... will you start believing them?

They come so easily now.

After awhile, they sound like truths even in your own head.

Liar liar.

They've got you.
