Everything I Feel is a Lie

Copyright, Anonymous

this is my poem i wrote about self harm, and how it is a lie to cover emotional pain. i would like to submit it just to see what someone else thinks of it, as a self harmer myself i cant really judge, thanks.

Everything i feel is a lie,
As is everything i say and everything i do.
They are all lies, but i am not making them up, nor am i telling them,
They conjure themselves in the back of my mind, then grow.
They develope into ideas then spread themselves until they cover my subconcious, and take controll of something that was never controllable before.
All my life i have spent trying to reach it, but the lies can touch it without even needing to strech their trembling fingers, or their aching arms,
But my arms ache the same, for the lies have twisted me and brought me down onto a level i do not wish to be on.
It is their fault i have lost myself, and not mine for creating them, for an evil hand that exists only within the mindless etermity that is my dream, planted them.
The owner of the withered branch cares not for the pain it has caused me,
Only that it has created now, yet another liar who can no longer remember the truth.
