About the Poem
This poem is just about how I think, and how I often get carried away and build little lies inside my head that cannot become real.
Lies |
| by Stanley Naber |
| Lies hurt more than the truth why do I live in self pity and expect disappointment more then optimism or does enjoyment lead me to new worlds which I can not live on the air is getting thin and I want to stay for some time too bad I can not live in my dreams for then utopia would be reached wouldn't it |

I've just been lied to by a Stanley so this poem seemed fitting in so many ways. i suppose to a generally honest person dishonesty is incomprehensibly.

Living in a web of lies just makes a bigger spider want to come along and eat you. Tell the truth,no matter how much it hurts,how much pride or dignity you might lose or what people with think of you. Alot of people live a life based on lies because it keeps them "busy" and away from ACTUAL reality. In the end,you don't win,ever. Living a lie isn't lving at all. You might as well be dead. And this is coming from someone who is hated by ALOT because I don't hold any punches back. I don't believe "keeping it under the rug" and LYING for alterior motives helps any situation and it NEVER will,ever. Be for real and have a heart and live with compassion or just die,really.

I like this poem very much. I realy felt like it was written just for me. I lied to a friend of mine. online friend. and it hurts more than anything. He trusted me and what I did was lie to him.

It is true, we all lie. I don't really understand why but we do. The world is a very herd place to live in and maybe people lie to try and feel a sense of security. I thought your poem was great! Thank you..
