I Do Not Do Confrontation

Confrontation is something other people do I will lie my way into a corner and beyond the veil So I do not have to have an altercation with anyone I cannot fathom bickering or arguing My parents taught me the value of silent disapproval Wearing a pasted weirdo Cheshire Cat smile You would rather lie than tell the truth, my husbands have said. I have had six of them, and they were not wrong. Why can’t you just say it like it happened? Truthfully, I have been fabricating so long, I do not know the truth. Truth could jump up and bite a giant hole in my cheek. Yes, that cheek, and I would still lie. Because I knew that lying might be a way out of a belt whipping. There is a book called “Why Children Lie.” We learn to lie if the punishments are too severe, And we know telling the truth will be painful. Spoiler alert. I have only had one husband, but I lie.
