Lie Poem by Kim Jones

Through the tiny cracks,
In my depressing shades,
A ray of sunlight strikes my heart,
Then all is black once again,
With the pain this is so great,
I forced my heart to acquire a wall,
An impenetrable wall,
To hold back all those tears,
And hide all of my forlorn secrets,
From the greedy, self-concerning world,
Who would strike me down in my weakness without a second thought,
And I paint a smile upon my face,
To never be broken, even in my darkest strains,
When I cry and cry,
Still I will lie,
For the greatest of lies is always,
'I'm fine'.
