I Lied

Posted September 15th, 2008 by neocon_shakes_fear

I lied to myself
so somebody would believe me
When I cried to myself
nobody could see me

As the rain poured on Tuesday
I stood alone without an umbrella
I didn't even think of jumping in the river
Nobody had to push me

I wrote an "I Lied" also total different direction.I gathered a feeling of depression but I like it.

Thanks, Gloria. I'm sure we're not the only ones to use this title. If it works, and you feel it, use it. NSF

From this piece, a sense of solitude or even abandonment comes through to me. All alone.
So much from a short write, good piece,
Dave
