Liar, Liar

Liar, Liar!
She hollered
You're a liar!
As I watched her run away from herself
Her ego too afraid to admit the truth
The truth in front of her
She wants not to see 
Truth be known
I will be a liar the day I believe her lies
To and about me insulting me with terror
Spreading false rumors to make her ego soar higher
While she has the nerve to accuse without the facts
Showing the reality of her personality
Judging and wondering why others run away
Is that what humanity is really all about?
Is the ego within more important than reality?
But alas, the ego can not run away from the fate of karma
For the days spent horrifying others already affects her
Her health a show of her accounts
Hating others is no way to heal
Anger follows her fake persona
As I stand and watch the display
It jars me to my core
I stand shaken and out of sorts
But react with such distaste I can not 
My ego acts in a different way
It stands up for me with my faith in spirit
It leads me to a place of knowing
Knowing that I am worthy of being valued
Spirit knows love is not abusive
It fears not for fear is not love
When she admits to herself
That what she fears is inside herself
Is the day she will start to heal 
The day she will start to love herself
I hope for her sake that day comes before her tomorrows
As I stand and pray for mercy for the display leading to sorrow.
