Lie to me
Lie to me
Tell me I’m okay.
‘cause all I see is darkness
When I look my way
My failures grow like flowers
My weakness steals my powers
so
Lie to me
And tell me I’m okay.
****
Lie to me
Tell me I’m okay
‘Cause my sin is ever before me
And I find it hard to pray
All I see is grief I’ve caused
till I wish my life had paused
So
Lie to me
And tell me I’m okay.
****
Lie to me
Tell me I’m okay
‘cause when I look in the mirror
I wonder where beauty went away
My outer flaws are seen by all who are
and within is worse by far
So
Lie to me
And tell me I’m okay
****
Lie to me
Tell me I’m okay
‘cause maybe we can make it true
And not just a game to play
In being loved I find worth
In bringing joy I find mirth
So maybe you wont have to
Lie to me
When you say I’m okay

Lie to me, or tell the truth?
Dorothy,
You have more imagination and guts than I do. Not only do you write stories and poetry, you've also put yourself out there with your blog posts on what's happening with you in Real Life (is that *really* trademarked like I've seen sometimes?). Thanks for writing what you do; your fiction is good, and the blog posts make me suspect I could be more open and honest with my therapist than I am.
May you get lots of hugs from more people than just me. Thanks for making me think.
Long I-won't-let-go-till-you-want-me-to soft hugs from me.
KR
