Do I Lie?


Do i lie?
        of course not.
I only tell half-truths
        and half-lies and minor
lies, which are in truth
        all lies, all factual lies.
        Every single word that
        comes out my mouth is
        a sugar-coated lie.
                Why?
        Because what is truth?
        Truth is what one believes.
        No wonder i ponder so
        much, so long, over that which
        i say and do. i do not believe
        in myself.  I believe my life
        is a lie, i am a lie.  There
        is no truth within me.  How     
        can i speak truth when there
        is no truth within me?  Falsity
        begets falsity as truth begets
        truth.
