To be happy,
you must be true,
not simply to all others,
but mainly to you.
A lie speaks truth,
no matter how well planned,
which hurts others more,
and is as plain as sand.
It hurts you ewhen someone,
knows of your lie,
then you look at your actions,
and question yourself why.
Then, maybe again,
you lie once more.
Trying to cover up,
leaving the trust tore.
The truth sometimes
may hurt in a way,
and it usually is
the hardest to say.
The fact still stands,
no matter how you say why,
that everyone knows,
a lie is a lie.
