Coiling Lies

That ugly lie, Coming back, I want to lash out, Strike against those I know are right. I can't shake it, A collar of false chains, Tied to my leg, And hindering those I love. It's wrapped around me, Taking the light, I feel it, Wanting to hurt and scream. That conflict inside of me, Of that lie told once, To hide my true pain, Coiling around me.

Do I tell those I love to leave? To forever abandon me? That my story is a lie? That they don't really know me? These thoughts, Shake me at night, The rattle of chains, And ugly lies.
