I’m tired of the lies,
false promises,
delusions, allusions,
and misrepresentations.
.
Saying one thing
and doing another.
No apologies, or
signs of regret.
.
Talking out of
both sides
of the mouth,
spouting nonsense.
.
Always more of the same;
mental gymnastics,
and silly word games.
I’m tired of the lies…
.
I keep telling myself.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Well, here we have a new government today...let's see what that brings.
Why do we stay and still listen . They say because we feel we invested time but it was not worth investing time to liers
So tired, yet no rest in sight
As for me, I' tired of those who believe the lies.
Truth is as rare as rubies in contemporary discourse; your poem captures the resulting outrage elegantly.
Exhausting, right? Great free verse poem!
I hear you!!!
