A wish is
nothing but
a lie.
An intake
of air.
Resist,
Keep it there.
Unwrap
Your own mind.
Let out
Your innermost
desires,
Into existence,
By a mere
Whisper.
The universe
Won’t go out of
Its way
To fulfill
The wanting
Of someone
That questions
Their own
mind.
An insignificant
Nobody.
I keep wishing and wishing for things to be different, but despite my efforts, nothing ever changes.

He told you that he never lied
But you see it through
with your two naked eye

Lie
If I lie to myself,
Perhaps everyone else will believe it
Too
It’s not really a poem, but it’s how I feel...

I’ll trap you inside these lines so maybe then you will always be mine
This poem was inspired by a situation I’m going through. Hope you enjoy. Leave a comment ❤️

I have no mood
Such a simple excuse
But it holds so much truth
We have all used this once
Have had friends understand it
It is occassionally considered rude
But is better than an elaborate lie
I have no mood
And aint that the ******* truth

Aren't why we hide,
Why we cry,
Or for some, wish to die.
"It was the way the truth was denied."
The last line was from the song 'Suicide' by James Arthur.

when people ask,
they don’t really want to know.
they just want you to tell them,
what they already think.

They say the truth shall set you free.
Truth is a matter of perspective.
I know the picture you see.
I don’t agree.
I know you are misinformed
And the truth will release you from ignorance.
The truth will set you straight.
The truth will enlighten you.
But that truth is just my truth.
I know what my truth can do to you.
I know it will rumble your foundation.
Change your picture.
But I don’t share my truth.
I’m afraid.
I’m afraid it will hurt you.
I know you are not ready.
And I care about you.
So I lie.
And we are both prisoners.
