Do I tell lies? I do not know.

Is it a lie to say something,

If it sometimes feels true,

And other times seem false?

Is wrong to hold back the truth,

When all it can do is hurt,

The people I am supposed to love?

What is the sense in telling,

When everything changes,

With my moods and emotions?

They tell me to listen to my inner voice,

But I'm deaf to the words it whispers.

How do I know what's right or wrong,

Without a moral compass that knows its true north?
