The Lies We've Told
I'm always smiling.
I am beautiful.
My heart is not broken.
I'm fine.
These are not tears.
I do not miss you,
nor do I need you.
It's the truth.
No, I don't need your help.
yes, my life is wonderful.
He loves me.
I'm his only girl.
I'm not lying.
I love my friends.
They're always nice to me.
I am not being bullied.
I'm not alone.
I hate that I'm telling the truth.
I'm not dying inside.
My back is not pierced with knives.
I do not feel like dying every day.
I’m fine.
I’m okay.
It’s true that these are all lies.
