Welcome... To a 100 day journey into the poetic minds of the @steemitschool writing community!
I am currently on a 21 day quest to 'Awaken the Species' with Neale Donald Walsch, and today was day 5.
It was all about doing what you say your going to do... Something I don't always live up to...
But I'm on my way. I'm doing the work I need to do to become a better me.

Lies Tie
Do what it is you say you're going to do.
Stay true.
It can seem hard but actually it's the easier option.
It will cause you less pain to go with yourself instead of going against yourself.
Suffering will incur...
Painful emotions will stir -
The lines between the lies and the truth will blur,
From walking the path of truth you defer...
Except -
Often that time never comes,
And to the temptation of lying we succumb...
Doing damage that simply -
Cannot be undone.
So speak your truth.
Not only to yourself.
But to everyone.
Thank you as always for reading.
With Love

While I agree that in the long run it will work out better if you tell the truth. The fact is the in the short run, lies tend to work well. Well at least for me.
Nice and uplifting words though. In these times of gloom, it is not often that we find these gems. I hope I will find the courage to follow so much of what is laid out in these verses.
CHEERS!

Totally agree, that's why we tend to lie - it's easier and less painful often in the short run, in that moment - it becomes the default reaction to protect yourself or others -
But as you say, in the long run, just being totally open and honest always produces something better...
That's one of the main problems with Humanity - We need to start thinking and acting for the long term, not the short term - because we're all gonna be here on this planet together for quite a while... Unless we destroy it of course!
Now's the time to change... the invitation is there... we're evolving and it's up to us what we create next... Let's make it beautiful!
I believe truth is part of that... and though I'm far from it... I'm striving every day to live and completely truthful and honest life... it's not always as easy as it sounds!
Thank you so much for your kind words my friend... this was a useful insight :)

True.
Lies build a web that binds and blind us.
I enjoyed this.
The markdown style gave the poem a distinct look.
Write on.

Very true, but we need some lies to actually reveal the truth, not that I'm saying lying is good.
And about saying the truth to one's self I totally agree, Co's that's one the thing that can destroy us finally.
Nice work mate.

Thank you for your input... they've obviously had our place.. I think through lying, both to ourselves and others, eventually it will serve as a way for us to experience a way that doesn't work.. and although lies can sometimes seem to help, the ultimate truth would actually create a better outcome in all instances...
I wish I could claim to be living a life totally free of lies... most of my pieces are reminders to myself as to how I would like to live my life more and more... I'm far from perfect... but my own words often help me and remind me of ways to stay on track.. and I hope they have that effect on others too..
Thanks always for your support and insightful comment my friend, sorry for such a long delay on my response!
