Lies Poem by Susan Johnston

Emptiness from a belief
Strangled by its own cord
Proud to let it go
So alone
New roads heal past wounds
Set me free to find the love I need
Stop the Lies, Stop the Lies, Stop the Lies

Boundaries set, values upheld
Tightrope dangles by a thread
Wishing away the pain I flee
From hunger, within me
Set me free to find the love I need
Stop the Lies, Stop the Lies, Stop the Lies

Hate seethes
Evil mind controls me
Die bastard die

Your blood creeping in my veins
Ecstacy on the wind
Heal the walls of resentment sewn within
Evil eyes bestow on me
Bleeding too I still love you
Stop the Lies, Stop the Lies, Stop the Lies
