The Downside And The Upside Of Using Lies .... [pros And Cons Of Lying; Some Advice; Short] Poem by Bri Edwards

The Downside And The Upside Of Using Lies .... [pros And Cons Of Lying; Some Advice; Short]



The Downside And The Upside Of Using Lies

Lies can seem at times necessary, but....
in the long run can make life more hairy.

BUT, ...

if at times no lies are spoken,
you may end up with your life broken.

BUT, again, ....

use lies sparingly to be sure....so....
you don't depend on them for each cure.

Autopsychography Poets feign and conceal So completely feign and pretend That the pain which they really feel They'll feign for you in the end And he who reads what they've done Never senses the twofold pain That's in them, only the one Which they never feel but feign And so, to amuse our minds Round again to the start On its circular railway winds That toy train called the heart. Fernando Pessoa The original poem in Portuguese: Autopsicografia

Wow~ First off thanks for reading my poem, and I'm glad it was able to inspire you. This is like the perfect answer to it, but finding that balance is easier said than done perhaps.
