I Live A Lie Poem by Rik Bertrand

I live a lie; I live a life of unfulfilled dreams.
There is no reality here, there is no one here.
I am alone in this world, yet I say otherwise.
I live a Lie, I am not who I am, I am not that strong man.

I cry, I cry alone in the dark, I cry alone in the light.
I put up a front, I hide from reality, and I lie.
Forgive me for who I am, I do not mean you harm.
Forgive me for pretending that I was a different Man.

I wanted to be strong, I wanted the dream
I wanted to live life with love and warmth in my heart
I wanted to much, I wanted to fast, and I lost sight of reality.
Life hit me hard, and I fell, I fell too far, and I failed life.

Forgive me, I am just as simple lonely Man, forgive me.
I am alone, by myself, hiding from life, hiding from pain.
I cry, I cry, but the tears are no more, Ii am dry from the lie.
Don’t discard my soul, my heart or my love, they still live.

I am so sorry for whom I am, and who I am not, I truly am.
But I lied; I lied about my happiness, and the smiles.
I am low, I am so low, Step on me and let me go.
My life is not what it is, it is not what it was, and it was a lie.
