Lies

By emily2u | From the Heart | 13 Mar 2021

Every night I close my eyes,
Can’t fall asleep,
Because of all the lies,
Eating into my mind so deep.

Tossing, turning by the minute,
With my body the sheets tangle.
To be honest, I’m unfit,
Though everyday I struggle.

When I lie, show no sign,
The lie detector can’t detect ---
I feel really fine,
Can keep eye contact.

Only at night do I feel nervous,
Fearing the repercussion
Of lying on purpose,
Causing major confusion.
