Lies

I thought I didn't care;
But it turned out that I care too much, that I don't even notice I'm already hurt.
I expect nothing, and I realized I expect him to give me everything.
I tried to believe the perjured truth---
to escape the melancholic holler of sorrow in reality.
I fiddled with happiness and hoaxed my state of mind.
I played with the swindled personality of my combined conscience and ego.
I gave up and liberated my chained feelings;
I freed myself from the shackles of mendacity and lived in TRUTH.
