You try to cover your truth with lies
Close your eyes
You can’t disguise
The monsters and demons
The pit of my stomach
Intuition is beaming
It’s a knowing
A feeling
Lies so soft and sweet
Telling me what you think i want to hear
This is not strength
It’s fear
Afraid to speak your truth
Honesty unknown
Lie to me
To keep me smiling
But deep down inside
I am dying
Tearing apart with each falsehood
Truth hurts sometimes
Unfathomable
Breaks
Cracks
The pictures of perfection
shattered images
Facing reality
Not always easy
