Haley Nichols Poet Free verse

Pretty Lies

All the pretty lies 
That fill my brain
All the pretty lies telling me
I’m insane

So i take a blade to my arm
Then wear hospital socks to hide the scars
Disassociate as to not raise alarm

All the pretty lies you fed
Telling me I’m better off 
Dead

All the pretty lies 
you thought me
Told me me can harm me

So i let him in my bed
In my head
Father words 
Telling me not to fight

So i laughed
And giggled
And sent him pictures
He then used to get me to vape

Momma doesn’t know 
i used to use
All the nights she 
used to ask why I’m so tired

All the nights she asked about
“That new bruise”
The one that came from you punching me

All the lies you fed
Are the reason 
I will be dead.
