Lies

May 20, 2016 by Jin Tuan, Grade 8

Is it true that you have done this?

Is this true at all?

To spoil my hopes of everything I saw,

A hurricane to my shanty of dreams.

The truth lies hidden behind your eyes,

All I see is a lie.

Is this what you wanted?

Is this what you asked for?

To deceive, to jest, to mock, to prod.

To lie, to fail my hopes.
