Lies

I thought I'd fooled everyone,
 myself included. 
Denying it happened,
 would make it so.  

Fake it till you make it!
 But who am I fooling? 
All these years I've survived
 By betraying myself.  

I really believed
 my lies of omission. 
Now it seems obvious.
 Did you really not know?  

It's time to be free
 From disgust, self loathing. 
Compassion awakens.
 The truth will out.
