LIES ON MY TOUNGUE

I remember when I was happy at a tender age.

I was white like a dove, there was nothing but the truth in my feathers.

Then I got older.

I don't know if it got this way, or it started with a lie.

Today I Am in my autumn of life. 

I got lies on my tongue and I don't know how I got this way.

My feathers a tinted with black and red spots.

Symbols of fear and lies mixed with pain.
