Almost Got Me That Time

Some people seem so off
Their lies both obvious and absurd
But it is a mistake made to think that 
Deception is the goal
No.
Even these people are not that stupid
Their goal is reaction
Pure and simple
A sad need to be told that they are wrong
Just as long as someone is talking to them
They need to feel some outside 
Importance
Because, alone, on their own, they have 
None
So, here I play into their hands
A little bit
Because I know the feeling
I had, and probably will, have these times too.
They can’t really help themselves until they 
Want to
So, go on and lie. Go one and try to twist reality.
Both reality and I can take this.
This and far more.
