My life is a lie
No matter how honest
I try to be
And what about you?
Probably halfway
Inbetween
If you're honest.
Could I be exactly that?
Honest??
Who knows???
Too many question marks...
So am I?
No idea
But with poetry
At least I can try.
Dulwich Poet 31st March 2013
(I saw the first line of a poem called "Truth", by Rehan Qayoom, in a poetry zine called 'Playerlist 2'. It was seven lines long, consisting of a mere 22 words. It's opening line was 'I am a lie'...& after reading it I wrote this.)
