It was just for fun at first
Then it was merely for help
Thought I could get out of trouble
With a single lie
Just one single lie
Holds false blossoms
A lie relies on another
And soon we have them
Everywhere
As each lie is planted
Sprouting a new lie each time
A story is created
From that single lie
Lies can’t keep you out of trouble
It is like adding oil to fire
You see it first bubble
Next thing you tire
To see the sight of fire
Growing more and more!
At first no one suspected it
And so I lied on some more
Then, a truth came up somewhere
And I was forced to tell the truth
But lie upon lie had caused me to lie
Over that old lie
A new lie rests upon the old one and
I kept it up
Once that truth was uncovered
Called a liar, I was
Lost the respect and loyalty
Of even my closest friends
I ended up in detention hall
Lying endlessly
Soon my reputation grew
And a liar I came be
I am saying this because
I want you to know
Lying isn’t something you would want to do
Telling the truth keeps you out of big trouble
And keeps your image from being disowned
Be warned, I say don’t lie at all!
A liar you will be
So don’t lie at all
I’ve been through it all
And I know it at best
I got out of lying through years of hard rest
I’m telling the truth now
So you all hear,
Lying isn’t for little kids,
Nor for grown-ups
And old
I was a liar
But now I try not to be
I don’t recommend this life
It isn’t good
Just listen to me
Do not lie.
Please.

Description:
This is a poem I wrote, inspired by a real-life experience.
It has already won 3 community awards and 1 spoken-word award.
I'm sure everyone had lied at least once in their life.
And there are some who can relate to the message being said in this poem.
Please rate and comment.
Thanks. - Date: 02/06/2011

- I don't like the Yoda talk, "Called a liar, I was". The uneveness of the lines and stanzas also throw me off, nothing's constant. Try cutting out those repetitive parts and you'll be good.
