Fiction - Ten Foot Pole

Life’s so unfair, you thought

Then turned on your TV

Life’s so unfair you sobbed

Then picked up the keys

You lock your castle door behind you

To go for a ride

Your shiny car roars as you think

Of what you’ve been denied

No one understands your mind no one ever tried

No one has a clue of what you are inside

And I lie

But I believe myself

And the truth hurts more than anything else

Drowning in self pity killing time

It helps me to write the words

To think about the grime

And if you piss me off

Please don’t apologize

My anger drives conviction as I proclaim these silly lies

If you don’t believe me

Just read between the lines

No one has a clue of what’s behind these eyes

And I lie
