Compulsive Liar
by Amanda J CobbI am not sarcastic.
I am everything I ever wanted to be.
I believe in my power to change things.
I have no regrets.
I am never disappointed with myself.
I never cry.
I get enough sleep.
I don't ever eat junk food.
I exercise regularly.
I never bite my nails or crack my knuckles.
I do not procrastinate.
I never wear the same shirt twice without washing it.
I don't speed on the highway.
I am extremely organized.
I never give up.
I understand myself completely.
I only keep my good memories.
I know what I want from life.
I don't fear anything.
I am not alone.
I am happy.
I never lie. 12/10/2003 Author's Note: Yes, I realize it's blunt...it's what I was going for - overt, obvious untruths.

| Posted by Max Bouillet on 12/15/03 at 06:54 PM The way you have phrased this reminds of those trivial little questions that we use to greet each other. "HI. How's it going?" "Just fine. And you?" "Couldn't be better." Then they both go jump off a building. Great verse that keeps the reader thinking. |
