Inside the Liar

Inside the liar

Inside the liar -
The name is a lie within itself.
Look at it:
How can there be anything inside the liar
When the only thing inside the liar
Are lies?

"What you see is what you get."
A lie if ever I heard one,
But that doesn't stop me from employing it;
From saying it to those individuals
Who are just beginning to know me.

It came from a combination
Of titles gathered from songs
That were only known in books.
"Inside the Girl" and "The Little Liar"
I kept the common factor,
Switched the last word around,
And 'Inside the Liar' was born.

I was revived.
I swept myself into a universe
Where I was free to be whoever I wanted to be
Without limitations.
In the end, I chose to be myself.
A bit mundane, perhaps.
But it's a choice I've never regretted making.

'Inside the liar' is also a mockery of sorts.
A slap in the face to anyone
Who ever thought that barely scratching my surface
Would be enough to make me let them in.

I made it because I wanted something different than "Skye."
I keep it because it's true.
But also because I like it.
I love the way it rolls off my tongue.

Inside the liar -
So much more than a name.
It's an escape from reality.
