A Ballpoint Lie
a ballpoint lie on fancy paper that says
it never happened.
a ballpoint lie on fancy paper saying
there are no scars
a ballpoint lie on fancy paper that
diagnoses psychosis
a ballpoint lie on fancy paper that
doesn't see the truth.
a ballpoint lie on fancy paper that
leads everyone astray
a ballpoint lie on fancy paper that
i crumple and throw away
it never happened.
a ballpoint lie on fancy paper saying
there are no scars
a ballpoint lie on fancy paper that
diagnoses psychosis
a ballpoint lie on fancy paper that
doesn't see the truth.
a ballpoint lie on fancy paper that
leads everyone astray
a ballpoint lie on fancy paper that
i crumple and throw away

The real power of this is that everybody can relate to the feeling of being lied to in some form. Your audience should be very broad with this poem. Great job!
By they way, just so you know, if anyone brings up John Denver, it is because he had a song called "Fly Away". (In case you get any jokes)
