Are you in, or are you out?

Anya, I have faith in you. There is no one you cannot piss off.

It's tiring,
to pretend,
to make everything a lie,
to live a lie.

but you see,

lies,
they make up this complex web of shit,
that everyone spins,
and day after day,
you're going to start to forget
who you lied to,
and what you lied about.

and it's ridiculous
on all the little things
we need to lie about.

and it's sad,
how all of us
lie, and are upset
when other people do it.

people lie,
all the time
when we obviously don't need to.

why?

seriously,
why do people lie?

in this,
simple,
yet complex
mind of ours,
why do we lie?

we lie,
because someone will get hurt if we don't.

but no.
that just isn't a good enough reason.
