Lies
They slip
My mouth
Unable to check them

Why?

The simple answer:
I lie to impress you
I lie because I am inadequate
I lie because I want your picture of me to be untarnished

The real answer:
I lie because I don't want you to see the boring side of me
I lie because I want to feel better about myself
I lie because I need something to define me
Good or bad,
Lies define me
