Lies You Tell

Lies sound so much sweeter 
Than the truth 
The illusion is more beautiful 
Than reality
Deception can be delicious 
Until it isn't 
Until it can no longer outrun
The truth
When you're out of credit 
You become desperate 
For more time in the fantasy 
Where the sun shines 
Even at night 
And there's never drought
Though it never rains
The lie is vacation 
The lie is enticing
The lie is addictive 
The lie is destruction 
No one cares
When the lie
Feels better 
Than the truth

Please

Your pain is yours
And yours alone
You shoulder the burden silently 
You smile outwardly 
You scream internally 
Raging and thrashing 
Clawing for something to grasp 
Desperate to escape 
Desperate to be free
Desperate to live

A Cycle

You will love 
You will be lied to 
You will be cheated 
You will be disrespected 
You will fall 
You will break 
You will heal 
You will rise 
You will love

To the Mirror

It's been too long since I've told you how I feel.
You are one of the most talented people I know. 
Your heart is huge. And I want to always have a place in it. 
You're kind and that makes you beautiful. 
You're intelligent and that makes you sexy. 
You're honest and that makes you honorable. 
You're loyal and that makes you worthy. 
I love you. I should tell you more often. 
You deserve to hear it every day. 
You deserve the loyalty and love you give. 
I love you. I need you. 
You are a force when you allow yourself to be. 
I miss that. I miss you. 
You are a special person. I know sometimes you forget that. You forget how powerful you really are.
Starting today, please don't forget that again. 
Don't make yourself small to make them comfortable. 
You are the sun.  You are the moon. You are the world. 
I love you. I need you. You'll never be second.
Don't ever doubt that I'm your biggest fan.
I promise to protect you. I promise never to neglect you.
You amaze me. You blow my mind.
Every desire in your heart, you should have. You will have.
Every happiness will be yours.
Lean on me. Depend on me. I will not let you down.
I've disappointed you before, but trust me.
There's nothing to worry about anymore.

Self Care

You don't have to be strong 
You don't have to be silent 
You don't have to rise above 
Take a moment to cry
Rage out get loud
Fuck some shit up
