Lies Reveal The Liar

So many answers but even more questions are revealed
Secrets, schemes and stories are unleashed
Like a pack of wolves, they trip you up
Before you’re strangled in your lies
He knows he isn’t allowed to
But it’s calling him from afar
He enters a whirl of panic
As he ventures into the unknown
His good deeds are unleashed into wind and forgotten
The pain of lying to yourself to keep yourself alive eats you from the inside
But you must
You have to
There is no escape
There is no get out of jail free card
There is no hope
You are a liar
