Liars

Posted on by SaNdY KniGhT

Lies of omission

grown in the silence between

take on lives of their own

robbing from each

our secrets

stolen from the justified

and vulnerable

borrowed on fear

until grown

bloated and taut

truth springs unguarded

from lips fully

formed, as virulent

as a virus without

an antidote

yet, having the power

to heal the troubled

heart of a liar

A longtime admirer and writer of poetry, short stories and songs, I'm a self taught musician on guitar, piano, harmonica, mandolin and banjo. After military service I returned to school and achieved my Bachelor's of Science in Music Therapy. I am the managing editor of a popular online writing publication called The Weekly Knob currently hosted on Medium. I do copywriting and editing as a side hustle and would like to hear about your project(s) if you are in need of an editor or copywriter. I am also available to collaborate in the processes of songwriting, performing and recording. You may contact me through my website. One of my favorite CD recordings of original music available on iTunes is 'The Deep End' by Sandra Knight. You can also find me and several free studio tracks for download on Soundcloud.com.
