The lies you tell
By Naledi Setzin
The Lies You Tell
You lie to me daily,
My comfort space is no longer my safety,
You promise me constantly,
I fall victim to this frequently,
I battle to search for your honesty,
I beg to seek so sincerely,
Having no hope in your words,
I sorrow alone like a lost bird,
Heartbroken inside,
Your lies all stack up in line,
Do you not know authenticity ?
The power your words have over my mentality,
Leaving me confused and frustrated,
As I just want to be appreciated,
I am speechless with no words to say,
You have left me astray,
Will I ever move on from this day,
I can only hope and pray.
