A Poem: The Lies I Tell. #Blogger #Bloggers #Poem #Poetry #Feelings

These are the lies I tell,

I tell myself that things will get better, I will be OK,

I tell myself that I do belong, I can be strong,

I tell myself that my life matters, I will be missed,

I tell myself that the pain will fade, scars can heal,

I tell myself that the darkness won’t last, the colour will return,

I tell myself that I’ve not fallen apart, I am not broken,

I tell myself that I don’t live in the past, I can move on,

I tell myself that I will make it through, I will stand and fight,

I tell myself that even if I lose the battle, I can win the war,

I tell myself that I am not decaying, my life isn’t rotting away,

I tell myself that someone could love me, I am not lonely,

I tell myself that someday I will rise, the sun will shine,

Those are the lies I tell,

Those are the lies that keep me alive……
