LIES YOU TOLD, WILL RUIN YOU

BY: LIZ HARDIE

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
