Liar

There's no love in your stone heart.
Keep lying to yourself,
but you don't know how to love.
I don't care what excuse you have,
nothing can excuse what you did.
Keep lying to yourself.
I may be young, but I have sense.
​Keep lying to yourself,
but you don't know what love is.
I don't care why you're so cold,
nothing can excuse what you did.
Keep lying to yourself.
I may be a child, but I can feel.
Keep lying to yourself,
but you don't know yourself.
I don't care how you grew up,
nothing can excuse what you did.
Keep lying to yourself.
I may be your child, but I'm not yours.
Keep lying to yourself,
but you don't know me at all.
I don't care if you're sorry,
nothing can change what you did.

Keep lying to yourself.

  • Eleven Years

    For eleven years, I've been a part of the YWP community. I started when I was 11 years old and I went by my old name back then. I used to publish my work here all the time, but much of my publishing has now moved to my university.

  • A Nine-Year Journey

    For nine years, I've been a part of YWP and for nine years, I've felt seen by this community. Even as I've grown up, I've watched new young writers come and share their thoughts, emotions, and stories.
  • Beaming writer

    In sixth grade, our class had a show-and-tell every week,
    and every week, a small handful of students were selected to participate in the next one.
    As I was selected, anxiety kicked in.
    I wasn't really proud of anything.
