As a child you never thought anything of the lies you told
They rolled right off of your tongue as if they were the truth, although they were not
Those small lies you told growing up seemed like nothing to you
The more lies you told, the easier it became, validation is all you sought
You never thought about or cared about the people you hurt
Only wanting to make yourself look better to everyone around
Those lies you have told in life have hurt someone, yet that you refuse to believe
Never your fault, it is always everyone else, they deserve the blame
How you ever got to think that lying is appropriate, that is beyond us all, beyond me
The older you get, you would have thought you would grow out of the lying game
As I do feel to you it is a game, to see how many people you can fool
Fool into believing you are a good person, with a big heart, who actually cares
When in reality you are none of this, you are a narcissist, who uses lying as their main tool
A tool to hurt, manipulate, use and abuse those that you should care about
A tool to push blame on others when you should be taking the blame, owning up to it
Many may believe your lies and you are able to manipulate them
While few see right through you, call you out on it, the truth they want you to admit
Although the truth they will never get, as you have no idea how to speak this
You tell so many lies that you do not even know what the truth is anymore
Caught between lies and truth, you have confused yourself and you live in your own fantasy
Good luck living in this world as true, real people do not use lying to settle a score
Or lying to make themselves look better, to fit a standard they really are not
At some point your lies will catch up to you and bite you in the ass, if they haven’t already, they may ruin you
A narcissist can not reign for too long before their true colors are shown and they fall
Try doing the right thing, try honesty and stop hurting people; although I believe this is something you’ll never do
