A Mix of Truth with a Few Lies

Truth isn't always a good look,
It can be as painful as reading
a very sad book.

Its easy and appealing
To be deceiving,
It obviously wont crush those
Inner feelings.

If the truth is too bitter,
Why wouldn't you mix something
a little sweeter?

Then it is then easier to satiate
that way the falsity doesn't 
hold as much weight.
