Why Would I Lie?

Why would I lie, when I have the truest story I ever witnessed.

A story that I must tell with enough pressure to suppress vanity’s slightest measure.

If I asked why I'd say that I am slanted and jaded like the edgy face of a rocky mountain bluff.

Or soured by dire circumstances that nurtured this binding reality of inferiority that tells me that ugly awaits me in society's mirror.

I harvest my truth because, when I am not growing I am dying inside.

Feeling restricted to the confines of stagnant existence, as if constriction is choking the life out of me.

Currently, I find myself holding to the hope of living again without forgetting to honor the horrific tragedy I survived.

Similar to begin honestly without killing my story.

Uncertainty hangs about as if the unknown is my sole companion.

I fail to recognize the apparent because incoherent moments dulled my sense of reason.

Wherein seeing doesn’t mean believing, and believing does not equate to achieving, and rhyme seldom has reason.

I am prejudged and preliminarily subjected to mistrust resulting in a preliminary dismissal of human consideration.

Fair has not been there for me.

There are many many liars, frauds, and hypocrites who'd kill in order to deny me the truth!

So why would I lie?
