I Used To Lie The Shit Out Of Me

But I ran out of shit.

I used to lie when I was younger. I would lie a lot to anyone, everyone. I would spew out such fiction, wild tales. Maybe, I was attention-seeking like so many teachers declared to my parents, or maybe it was just the writer in me getting ready for that day when I would really lie, I mean write fiction. And in fiction, I would lie my ass off. I would tell you so many stories, stories about dystopian worlds that could happen to us, or I would tell you about monsters waiting to eat you alive, creatures you have never seen before. And I would love every minute of it, but when I am not writing, I’m not lying. I seem to have become more honest now. I still do twist a truth here or there sometimes, and sometimes, I am brutally honest. Sorry, but there is no happy medium.
