what lies do I tell them
by errors, omissions
in purposeful lies
what lies have become
comfortable
deluding myself
what lies do I tell them
out of habit, practice
what truth have I forgotten
that is needed for wholeness
so they can heal
what lies do I tell myself
to paper over the past
the pain I yet carry
not dropping at last
what lies do I tell myself
in secret, in private
denying the truth
when the truth is painful
never coming to a place
where I can be healed
