Writers are liars

by @iris-rebry

We twist words, So they look like beautiful Cylindrical knots Than the lines they really are. Art is never really made out of Straight lines, It comes with curves, tangles, And mystery. Writers are liars. We embellish, we polish, We try to put as much spice in your Cup of coffee just so you can hear us Think. We lie. Hard. Yeah there's no such place as "hobbiton" And Sherlock Holmes was never a real person. And there's no district 12 where Romeo met Juliet. All lies. But yet, we love them. We scream feed us more. Writers are liars, but we also murder Mirder out characters When we get bored with them. You think Moriarty was bad, See the man penning his words, His soul is darker than death. We are liars. And thats why we are good writers. Because we Don't need the truth to support ourselves.
