A Lie
I wish I didn't have to lie
I wish I could say I'm okay
And it would be the truth
Or I could pour out my heart
And not receive judgmental stares
But instead I hide behind a smile
I pull down my long sleeves
I tell people I'm alright
I project an image of a happy person
I act like nothing's wrong with me
But really, everything is wrong
I'm dying inside
But nobody knows
Because my life is a lie
