The words left my lips, smooth and slick,
A lie to escape, a quick trick.
Truth twisted, a minor sin,
My conscience began to spin.
Shadows of guilt started to stick,
A tangled web, I felt it click.
The lie slipped out, easy and fast,
But the cost it brought would never last.
The first time I lied, a bitter taste,
A stain on my soul, a soul misplaced.
The weight of deception, hard to bear,
A burden I carry, a heavy despair.
The truth, once hidden, now must be shown,
To mend the trust that has been flown.
Confession, a bitter pill to swallow,
But honesty’s path, I must follow.
The first lie, a seed of doubt,
A poison that spreads, a bitter shout.
But forgiveness, a chance to redeem,
To mend the broken, to heal the seam.
The first time I lied, a bitter taste,
A stain on my soul, a soul misplaced.
The weight of deception, hard to bear,
A burden I carry, a heavy despair.
The first lie, a lesson learned,
To speak the truth, my heart yearns.
For honesty’s path, I will strive,
To live with integrity, to truly thrive.
