I Am Lie

I am the builder
A fort of words carefully constructed
Nobody can break though my wall

I am the spider
Weaving a web of lies and deceit
Protecting my fragment of truth from all

I am the archer
Firing arrows of mis-direction
Leading them away from my past

I am the priest
Preaching my imagination
Tell them to eat when they should fast

I am the jewells
Hidden, disguised, behind a fake frontier
Can't possibly reveal my lies

You are the thief
Slowly breaking down pretend facade
When you discover, you must realise

I want to be truth
But I am lie, I am fake, I am not
I want you to understand, I want you to see

I am the victim
Tried to hide my weakness behind pretence
I wish I could tell you, wish I could set myself free
