Lie

Give me a candle to shine through the darkness.

To make me see and believe in my wrongs and rights.

To sit the f**k down and cry.

To make the world know that I am a lie.

I know that I am…

A Lie.

Yet lies are not able to tell tales.

A tale of broken men and fucked up memories.

Another broken man.

Another broken heart.

I am a lie

Fallen you sure isn't a lie, you're a great personal friend I know I can talk to when I'm feeling down or when I just want to chat.
Don't think you're a lie, because you're not.

You did a great job, thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

Plays like a song..Dark, cathartic..

[Drako]

this is an intersting poem, that i do not agree with. you are not a lie. you're a sixteen year old going through a bit of hell at the moment. you're at a point in life where you're still finding yourself. that doesn't make you a lie. it makes you human

Wow, this brought tears to my eyes :( Very effective. I must say that your not a lie. You know, your an innocent sixteen year old. But the world just took you down. It happens to us all at some point :( I'm kind of in one of those at the moment.
This is so good!
I love the line about seeing right and wrong. And about sitting down and crying. But I guess sometimes you've got to admit your just a joke and got to get back in the game :)
Well done!!!

I like how your expansion of style and form is changiing. You're moving in all directions and expanding ideas in a big bad way.
Nicely done and keep the form changing

[Brook Hughes]

Great poem. Nobody should have to think of themselves as a lie though!

[Coyote Poetry]

Some lies and pain make us wiser and stronger. When we reached the lowest point. Can't get worst? We hope. A very strong short poem. Happy endings are few in a life. More people learn from error then from common sense. A strong poem. You made me think.

I don't believe you're a lie... you're life may be, but you aren't. Your gift to write is greatly appreciated by many, and I'm sure many people love, and adore you here, like A Fallen Heroine clarified below. I agree with her completely... 100/100
