Tell the Truth or Date to Lie

A poem by Megan★

Truth or Dare?

Truth or lies?

There’s no difference in my eyes.

It starts out as a tiny fib

A baby squirming in their crib

But given time, it will grow older

And morph into a deadly boulder

A parasite with poison spikes

Infecting a new host whenever it likes

A lie can develop a life of its own

It feeds on integrity ‘til overthrown

Flinging faith into ashes, trust crumbles to dust

You want to revolt, but your time is now up.

The lie will take over and burden your heart

Clinging like a mad lover, ‘til death do you part

Now your soul is weighed with the Feather of Truth

It’s too heavy, say goodbye to innocent youth

As you keep on falling into the abyss

You know you never wanted any of this

Yet you kept allowing your fib to expand

Baby spiders you raised eat away at your hand

If you’d just told the truth, this wouldn’t occur

Now boundaries dissolve as your vision blurs

Truth or Dare?

Truth or lies?

You thought they were different, but then you died.
