Poems About Lies

I'm sick of the lies and the liars that follow
They leave me with no hope for tomorrow
Why am I always giving in?
Is there something more to me within?
I'm not gullible, I just believe no one will hurt me
But I've found too often that this can't be
Someone will hurt you once in your life
It shoots you down like a gun, cuts like a knife
If you don't believe me, prove me wrong
We will never all get along
There can't be peace because we create war
Though not all are sure what we're fighting for
Give me credit, at least I try
But you will never be there to see me cry
I won't show I'm weak and I won't fall
I'll prove it wrong, I'll show you all
You shouldn't deceive me, I know the truth
I learned it all in the mistakes of my youth
But that doesn't mean that I know it all
I didn't start out walking, I learned to crawl
So forgive me for my mistakes, do or don't
You've made them too so you surely won't
You don't want to admit, you'll prove me right
But it doesn't matter by the end of the night
The shadows grow darker, each and every day
This keeps going and we all slowly fade away
You started this first now let it end
I can't believe I ever called you a friend

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Out of all the people who have lied to me or hurt me, it was those I called "my friends" that did this the most. I wish I had never trusted some people However, I have convinced myself that they were mistakes and that I couldn't have known everything and that it's not my fault, there are just some people who simply don't care.
