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.
