White Lies

Can’t believe that I couldn’t see your lies,

Couldn’t tell what was true

Stared me straight in the eyes

And didn’t falter through and through


Your words but a disguise

False care you displayed

You brought upon yourself this demise

How gullible to fall for such a façade


Told yourself it was only a white lie,

Miniscule and unimportant

Thought you were going to try,

But guess I should have caught the hint


One twist of the truth

A small exaggeration

Only an unnoticeable bend

Just putting a bit of a spin on reality


But who you hurt the most wasn’t me,

Though I look back and wonder

Why you chose to deceive

A terrible blunder


In the end, it goes back to you

You lost my trust and belief

I bid you adieu

You aren’t worth my grief

Whispers


Simply strolling

Silently thinking

Seemingly unaffected

By the turns of the heads


As always, never ceasing

People to gossip cling

Muffled words thrown around

Empty of the truth each sound


Still, walking, head high

Passing confidently by

Not a single tear,

Whimper, or sign of fear


That is merely at a glance

The outer shell, the only chance

If the truth they knew

The act is through


The brave and courageous,

The certain and outrageous

Simply put in authenticity,

Timid, afraid, and hurt in complicity


The whispers tossed about

Brought a confidence drought

Tired of expectations and lies,

The only protecting shield, my guise


Continue striding proudly,

Laughing it off loudly

Surrounded with people genuine,

Repairing the destruction within
