Upon This Liar's Chair

-Upon This Liar's Chair- by Keaton Foster



Here I sit
Doing this
Writing
Fighting to Live
Certainly dying
Struggling to express
The pain that I feel
How could this all be
Is something often said
It seems there is no answer
Each new day I find my place
I am driven in such an impossible way
I cannot deny this heart
I cannot betray my mind
Upon this liar's chair
I sit, I confess, I express
There is much to be said
Even more to be set free from within
I've done so many terrible things
I am not proud, nor am I ashamed
Survival has always been my agenda
From the moment that I was born
Until now, and certainly beyond
I have and will do what it takes
No one should blame me
For doing what I feel I must
No one except for me that is
I wear my mistakes like scars
They run quite deep
To the bone, easily they go
A wasteland full of those known
To me will always remain
In the wake of my case
Lay the shattered ruins of their existence
I would feel for them if I could
I know that I must move on
One foot in front of the other
One painful expression to the next
I don't hate this world
How could I ever
I don't hate my life
Such a livable feast of ideas and experiences
I only hate what I have become
I tell tales of truth, based on lies
I tell stories of the end
Like they are new beginnings
I lead strangers down paths
That I know they would never go
Once they are where I want them
I dazzle them with a display of all that
Human beings are capable of
I leave them changed in irrevocable ways
Good, bad, or indifferent is no concern of mine
I am sure that they find their way back
At least that is my deepest of hope
If they become lost in the wilderness
Full of creatures that I create
Then for them I will always pray
It is such a hellish place of impossible change
A place beyond the mind and the hands of time
A place of thoughts and ideals flayed open
A forest of frightening concepts brought to life
No one is safe, most of all those who see
What is hidden within the bends and breaks
Of my way of expressing all that I know
Upon this liar's chair I sit
Confessing all that I am and all that know
I tell tales of truth, based on lies
I tell stories of the end
Like they are new beginnings
I will continue as I always have
Long after my death these words
And the journey they represent will remain
Some will learn from them, others will not
Some will be sacrificed, others will escaped unharmed
Some will be changed, and many will remain…
