Lies
I lie
I hide the truth
Only from myself
The section I can’t bring myself to
Open, Hurts from past afflictions
I pretend it means
Nothing, But honesty is hard
Because that means you.
Transparency means room for hurt
Feelings, Which no one has time for
Aspects remain hidden
Easier
Lonelier
Painless
Emptiness
If I say no
Then no tears will ever fall
If I say yes…
I don’t know what will happen
I try so hard to block out
Everything, A smile here a corny
Joke there
Snuck up on me
Now I think about you
More than I should
The shroud went up in flames
What do I do now
Risk taking has always
Backfired,
