I’ve learnt to lie...

I’ve learnt to lie

Hands cuffed,

A muffled cry,

Lashes fly,

I’ve learnt to cry

And lie…

A difficult task,

A face to mask,

My eyes are dry,

I’ve learnt to cry

And lie…

A smiling face

For the spirits around,

No fear in the I

I’ve learnt to cry

And lie…

Thorns so many,

Roses so roses.

Oozing RED,

I’ve learnt to cry

And lie…

People smile,

Trample upon;

And smile back.

Others have learnt to cheat

And lie…

But I still cry

And I still lie…
