Secrets+and+Lies

Secrets ~ Letitia Elizabeth Landon

LIFE has dark secrets; and the hearts are few That treasure not some sorrow from the world-- A sorrow silent, gloomy, and unknown, Yet coloring the future from the past. We see the eye subdued, the practiced smile, The word well weighed before it pass the lip, And know not of the misery within: Yet there it works incessantly, and fears The time to come; for time is terrible, Avenging, and betraying. The Lies Never End With Her  The words are snaring round trapping you in now how are you to distinguish the truth from the lie the deception has gone on for far too long there is no way out you can't ever know when the lies are spewing so be cautious remember everything then one day you'll catch it  Lies ~ Michael James Kennedy Findlay Lies, tearing us up inside Squeezing us till we feel the pressure Like a snake slowly squeezing your neck tighter The fear of the truth not been understood The lies weaving there way in to every persons mind Your mind slowly giving way to the pressure The pressure slowly increasing, people mocking you, people pointing Lies, Truth been twisted and distorted and misrepresented Lies, The evil of our kind, truth the good of our kind Don’t let lies over run, don’t let lies stay and haunt you, speak the truth **

 * ~Emily Dickenson **
 * Some things that fly there be,— **
 * Birds, hours, the bumble-be: **
 * Of these no elegy.
 * Some things that stay there be,— **
 * Grief, hills, eternity: **
 * Nor this behooveth me. **
 * There are, that resting, rise. **
 * Can I expound the skies? **
 * How still the riddle lies **!
