compulsive liar

prompt #2: your favorite fictional character's perspective

COMPULSIVE LIAR 

 One too many and a thousand isn’t enough

 Drowning along the sea of lies I’ve made,

 The frightened boy in the mirror seems to fade 

Malevolent words, nothing but a charade

 I fooled them with my lies, but what did it cost? 

 Today as I lay underneath the hydraulic press, 

Ready to play one final game of chess,

 The solid mask I wear cracks, it’s finally time

 At last, I bid adieu to this miserable life of mine

 At the very least, I wasn’t boring, right?

- s.t

Mr. Trump might have written this one. Fits perfectly, except for the suicide part.
