I live in a pool of lies. They each see through different eyes. Different opinions, different words. Twisted, pulled apart. All of them came from the blackest heart. Secrets whispered, swimming around. My ears are buzzing with the sound. They think I can't hear, even if I'm NEAR. Oh, but I can hear, I hear every bit. They all think that I'm full it. They don't realize what it's like for me. To wake up, and hate what I see. To wake up, and not want to be living.
And it's all because I live in a pool of lies. I am the creator.

The author's comments:
I wrote this when a nasty rumor went around the school about me, and it wasn't true. Everyone started to hate me, and I wasn't even there. I am trying to mend it, but it just gets worse. I always write down my feelings.
