Lying Is Being Untrue To Oneself
Lies are being often spoken
with a tone that betrays words;
some don't know how harmful they are,
keeping their silence and carry on
with their careless ways is only creating pain,
not caring for the one who's been broken...
having lost all and feeling bare!
Lying is being untrue to oneself,
it's a consequence of dishonesty,
it strips one of self-worth immediately,
it's being false-hearted
and should be considered taboo;
lying is being untrue to oneself
it violates the human value
of morality and sincerity.
Could I ever lie to you darling?
It's a deed that threatens trust,
not being sure to be forgiven,
but be despised and not given
another chance at love and fall apart
engaged by emotions while crying.
Lying is being untrue to oneself,
it's harmful and it can bring death to many
losing their joy over unfaithfulness;
does one realize what makes him transgress?
Lying is being untrue to oneself;
be honest, don't let anyone suffer uselessly.
