True confessions of a lie

Hi!I'm a lie,

I'm everywhere around you.

Even though you say you don't use me,

I know for sure that you do.

"Why didn't you call me yesterday?"

Your friend asks.

You know that you did it on purpose,

but you put on a mask.

With an apologetic smile,

(which is as fake as fake could be)

You say,

"Sorry, I completely forgot!

I had a long and tiresome day!"

Here you use me without a thought,

Whether or not your friend understood,

As if you cared a lot!

"What where you doing a minute ago?"

Your mother asks.

You know you were talking on the phone when you weren't supposed to,

But why speak the truth and create such a hullabaloo?

So you put on an innocent smile,

(which is as fake as fake could be)

And you say,

"Oh I was just studying loudly,

Couldn't you see?"

Again you use me without a thought,

That your mother actually understood.

When you lied she made up her mind,

That you are banned from using the phone for good!

Dear people on earth,

It's is my request to you,

Stop using me as frequently as you do.

Let me be locked up in a dusty cupboard,

Never to be used again,

And honesty will get you trust, love and many-a friend!

Let me gather dust

And become brown with rust!

Because you see my friend,

Though I might help you through sticky situations,

When used constantly,I lead you to a dead end.

Don't think I like doing that,

Because as a matter of fact I don't.

And since I help you,

You can help me too with a simple 'I won't'.

My dear friend,you see, I'm honest,don't you?

So why don't you convert to honesty too?
