The Sharpness of a Lie It sits so casually in her back pocket ready to be used at any time. Its sharp and sly and it will hurt anyone she brings it near. As she brings it out she doesn’t know how easy it will be to start or how hard it will be to end. One wound caused by the lie will take a lot of time to heal. But she doesn’t stop at one. One lie to one person just wasn’t enough. The little pocket knife of a lie won’t go back into her pocket until multiple people are hurt to the point where they can’t be saved.
