Little Lie

Everyday I tell a harmless little lie Because if I told the truth then I would be Bombarded with questions of “Why?” “Think of others who have hurts and pains” they say. Just pray more, trust, and Don’t be stressed, depressed or a drain. Cause if I don’t tell this harmless little lie others will tire. Ignore that every lie adds more suffocation to an already dying fire. The more I say it, the easier it is to keep up the mask I’m building the walls and every brick is made With this task in mind Inside, it isn’t as bright as some people think It’s darker and continuously approaching the brink I don’t trust that I’m not faking it, And I don’t want to whine So I say this little lie everyday that I’m Fine.
