Liar

by yosh


Ahem, I was in a bit of a MOOD when I wrote the last poem, 'Lies', and I literally drafted it up in five minutes and published it, but this is a similar poem that I worked harder on :P

You're such a nice person!

they tell you, behind the curtain,

they don't know your pain,

nor how much you're hurtin'



She's just so honest!

they whisper, grinning,

they don't know you're lying,

you're crying, sinning,



He never tells a lie!

they reach and embrace you

they can't see the lies

that eternally face you



They can't be a liar!

they faithfully say

as they honestly run

and prance and they play



She seems so honest!

seeing is believing



He can't be telling lies!

truth is decieving



They aren't a liar!

you'll be the one grieving

for their loss



when you lie again

you can try again

but it won't happen

your lies'll be tappin'

and you're lies will be flyin'

and your mouth--

it'll just keep lyin'

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening!

I really loved your poem!

It started with four stanza's each one with four lines. They each spoke of a different type of lies, and of masks that you wear. Then it gets short. and the short ones seem to speed up the poem, making it seem like the person lying is about to break.

And then everything pours out. The piles of lies, that never stop, and will never end.

This was my interpretation of this poem, and it seems like raw, true, and unfiltered emotion. I really loved this poem.

Hi! Its Rodionandaxe, how do you do? Here's a little review,

First thing, i love the fact that you have used so many perspectives in this poem, usually poems that deal with decieving people or hiding ones true self its about one person but here as i understand there are many (the fact that you keep changing the pronouns).

The most wonderful thing about your poetry is how pleasant it is to read, how it beautifully rhymes and how one can imagine someone singing it. The rhythm makes it really enjoyable.


I also had a question, what if i were to perceive this poem as the same protagonist changing their gender among different people? I mean, i think its important for the reader to know how the poet wants them to interpret the poem also i think the poet's opinion about how their poem should be perceived matters a lot too.

All in all, i loved your poem. Its a wonderful piece. Its also relatable because all of us have tried to hide our emotions and appear cheery and jolly at least at some point. So keep writing such inspiring pieces. Can't wait to read more of your work.
Toodles! ;)

(I just realized i did not submit this as a review. i am new around here, i do not know how to fix this, so i am sorry.)

Ah, well, the changing of the pronouns is actually because I'm genderfluid. I didn't really intend to add that into the poem, but it just happened.

I'm so happy that my poem is inspiring to you! Thank you for reading!

Cool. I have never read a work from the perspective of someone who is genderfliud. That info helps me understand it better.

Keep inspiring :)

Oh why hello there! Saw that you legged me in this and I like had to read it!!! I love the way that it repeats its points throughout the story and i loved the strong ending!!!

when you lie again

you can try again

but it won't happen

your lies'll be tappin'

and you're lies will be flyin'

and your mouth--

it'll just keep lyin'

Totally sound slike something you could add a tune too!! Love it so much!! Great job <3
