Lies
by Stanley Naber
Lies hurt more
than the truth
why do I live
in self pity
and expect disappointment
more then optimism
or does enjoyment
lead me to new
worlds which I can not
live on
the air is getting
thin and I want to
stay for some time
too bad I can not
live in my dreams
for then utopia would be
reached wouldn't it

I've just been lied to by a Stanley so this poem seemed fitting in so many ways. i suppose to a generally honest person dishonesty is incomprehensibly.
