Carson Metcalfe Poet Free verse

These Little Lies

I’m fine I say 
As my breathing speeds up 
I don’t care I repeat
As the tears start to fall 
These words I say 
These little lies 
Won’t calm the rain brewing in my eyes 
It’s okay I whisper 
In the dead of night 
Just calm down 
I say while my mind weeps 
These words I say 
These little lies
Won't work on me despite the tries 
My mind won’t listen
When I say I’m fine 
That’s because my mind won’t lie 
My brain won’t agree 
That I’m okay 
That’s because my brain remembers the day 
So I’ll say I'm fine 
I’ll lie I’m okay 
Because I know these little lies
Are here to stay
