I really applaud the poem by Chloe Panarik, "Lies." She writes about why people lie. She says "Do people use it as an excuse? or a way to let go of their feelings-let them loose?" This was interesting, but then this part caught my attention, "maybe it weighs heavy on their hearts. Or does it break them into parts?"Sometimes lying is the only way to hide something that really hurts us. This poem makes me realize that people often lie for many reasons. But is it good for them?. I often wonder why people lie, then I catch myself lying. Chloe, your poem brings up some important points about lying, Thank you.
