Liar? Poem by Stefanie Fontker

Liar?



Oh, who am I now?
Tell me!
I demand an answer
For is it not you
Whom has shaped
My entire way of life?
An influence
Not dared challenged
Why do you sit
Motionless-
In ignorance and bliss
Sing with me a tune
Won't you play
With me once more
Or shall you fool
Strangers and friends
Alike, with tall tales?
Ah, but I know you
Well enough to see
And taste, your distaste
Never have you seen
This before- and never
Will you see this again
I find myself unable
To resist the urge
To throw stones
While we are trapped
In a glass house
