L I E S (5)

Something that can hurt. Something that seems right to say at one time, but then wrong in a minute. Something that seems like a shield to cover up some truth a person might be hiding underneath. One lie can turn into another and another because that is what lies do. Before you know it, you can seem like a whole other person because of lies.

When someone gets hurt by a lie, it hurts worse than a broken heart. When someone you trust, and they tell you lies for long enough, you might actually start believing them. Lies can become a part of your life before you know it. Even when you wished that they hadn’t. 

You don’t have to be the one who tells the lie. Little white lies are the tiny ones that people tell on accident, or without even thinking about it. Small ones like, “yes I took the garbage out” even when it is still sitting in the pale. Or something else along those lines. Very small and miniscule that won’t destroy anything when you think about it. 

However, it is the lies that people tell you about yourself that hurt the most. The ones that are from someone who you trust. Those lies are what slowly break your heart in two. Those lies that make you believe everything you aren’t is true. 

Lies make up who we can be or who we are. Even when we think they don’t control our lives, one lie can turn our lives upside down. Right before we know it.
