How Long Can I Lie
This long, I've managed to lie my way through;
To hide the cuts and the stupid things I do,
But I know that no lie will be one forever
And I don't know if I can lie to you any longer.
This long I've managed to convince you I'm okay;
That you need not worry about me everyday,
But how much longer can I keep up this masquerade?
How much more will it take til my strengths fade?
This long I've managed to hide the scars that I
Brought on myself while hoping I'd soon die,
But just how long can I keep them hidden,
And how much longer til my lies are all but forgotten?
