Caught in a web

Many times we fear to face the truth and it's consequences. We do not want to give reasons and excuses for past blunders for sounding defensive is not our intention. So, we avoid and we lie. But the consequences of these lies are so catastrophic and the reaction so strong that you wonder which of the two is worse, the truth or the lie. The lie sounds better but the results do not bring about the relief expected. There are STILL consequences. And you feel yourself suffocating in the situation, you want out! Man, which is the greater of the two evils. Is there no relief from this?

Deceit

Oh, how we get caught up,
In this intrinsic web.
And time is suddenly up,
Like the days in Feb.
And you feel the suffocating wrap,
of the blanket of lies in your bed.

You twist and turn, you pull and yank,
It only gets tighter, and begins to hurt,
You watch in despair as your ship is sunk,
And your own lies tear your story apart,
You have nothing but your cowardice to thank,
For the deceit that you have made an art.

You wonder if it would have been better,
to stick to the truth and be brave,
Instead of following to the letter,
This lie that would eventually cave,
Just to form this enormous crater,
That is created when you misbehave.
