Why I Lie
Lies
They slip
My mouth
Unable to check them
Why?
The simple answer:
I lie to impress you
I lie because I am inadequate
I lie because I want your picture of me to be untarnished
The real answer:
I lie because I don't want you to see the boring side of me
I lie because I want to feel better about myself
I lie because I need something to define me
Good or bad,
Lies define me
