I smile because I am eager To not disappoint Because I don't fit I Lie I am a Liar I say what is pleasant Promises of tomorrow Take the fall Not because I'm a bad person I'm thoughtful Using little lies White necessity Like Everyone using them When the truth Like me, can hurt instead I spare them I'm so nice I Lie I am a Liar I use the very same reason for nobody but myself most of the time So I can hide it away So fluent am I In this art of deflection Protecting the lesser parts of me so selfish, so frightened so embarrassed by my faults, Short-comings, things I don't like So I lie I am a Liar See me, I am perfection So easily liked, I am lovely, thoughtful, caring Tell me from the lies? I have lost the ability Who am I? I Lie, I am a Liar, Selfish, uncaring Insecure and hiding my reasons Concerned not, for others Unless it's their judgements, So I Lie, to be, to fit, to please, to pretend Who am I? I won't answer that honestly I Lie I am a Liar, I blend in beside them
