I hate the lies and I hate all the sorrow and grief <br />Everytime I make up another excuse for us it breaks me deeper inside <br />I know I can never tell the whole truth <br />I know there will always be another lie <br />I hate the fighting from us and that it only leads to misery no matter what <br />Everytime that happens I have to keep up my guard, making more Excuses for the frowning faces surrounding me <br />Why can't you hear me out and just wipe my tears, <br />Don't you hear my pleas <br /> <br /> (07/14/09)<br /><br />Amanda Austin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/making-excuses/
