Hi Friends,

We all live with the truth that we all lie - many times. Sometimes we lie to the benefit of others and sometimes for self. The following are some of those feelings that might pop up if we stand in front IT! Read on to know more...

I was born and there was no need to lie,

Since was a toddler and aging just about five.

I remember the day I lied to the school teacher,

Went to home appearing as a painful lying creature.

I lied to have had my lunch when asked by Mom,

Had actually shared it with friends and kept it mum.

Had lied when was smoking,

Said its cough when the heart was choking.

Pretended to be attending lectures in college,

When was having drinks with friends at a very young age.

Lied about the affairs with girlfriends,

When had break ups and concealed such old trends.

Left home early informing loved one's not well, (From office)

And was in the pub with hard earned money to shell.

Never had been good to children as a host,

Told them to go away when they wanted me the the most.

Very little time I shared with my partner,

She was waiting since I had lied even to her.

It appeared that I had many friends, but not many relations,

I counted them mine, but they were my illusions.

Life has passed by with a lot of hollowness therein,

It appears to be full of smiling, but is subtly crying within.

Now when the seconds are ticking towards the end,

I feel to regret; but still want to defend.

All these feelings are there in my heart somewhere,

They all creep up on my face and scatter everywhere,

TRUTH is what I see there....

Whenever I SEE my dark face in .....A MIRROR
