Liar
He nodded
He had to be good
To convince himself he wasn't.

Excellent
One has to be a good liar to convince oneself that one is not. Very nice
If you have watched pretty little liars (a girly show) this is something that would be said there!
it depends on the level of malignancy of his leprosy on his heart (of a liar in the sense of a hypocrite) - whether he can convince himself. Although in the end it can't last forever.
Thank God for that.
Consistency is the liars faux.
Valiantstar, this is razor sharp. Three movements…and it cuts clean. “He had to be good / To convince himself he wasn't.” That lands like a quiet gut punch. Simple on the surface, but it echoes. Well done, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks mate, I still can't fathom the depths. It was indeed who I was, but not who I would be.
Lost and found...
Amen. I hear you there. Most welcome.
