Living A Lie Poem by AshleyMarie Rippey

i've grown up in a house of lies
why you may ask?
how should i know
all i was taught was lie, lie, lie
and at night i just sat there and thought why can't i just die
instead of living in a house of lies.
all i know is how to lie
when someone ask what happend to your wrists?
all i can answer is i fell or i slipped
i can never let you know the real true me
im afraid of what you might think
i've seen it done before
and it's not fun anymore
i hate all the lies
i hate not being able to say
that i just want to go away
no matter what you do
no matter what you say
theres just no way you can make me stay
all i want to do is escape
and get to know the real true meaning of being me
i'm afraid to answer questionsd truthfully.
all these questions i've been asked.
what happend to your eye?
what happend to your hand?
why are you barley able to walk?
why don't you ever talk?
why do you hide everything from the person who loves you?
how can you do that?
how did it happen?
and all the answers are the same
i fell
i slipped
i tripped
i'm to shy i don't wana talk
i made up so many lies transferred to so many schools
it feels like i never wana move
the truth who will everr know
why did i have to grow up in a house of lies?
why don't i just DIE!
