Lies Poem by Nedra Pepin

Lies, all lies.
I lie to hide my real feelings.

I don't want anyone worrying over me.
Trying to make me feel better.

Because, I love my pain. Sad to say.
And no one really cares enough to try anyway.

I love my pain, but I hate it at the same time.
I want it to go away, but I want it to stay.

I want some one to care.
To save me.

To never let me fall into depression again.
My eyes hold so much pain.

But I hide it so well.
I want someone to see through my mask, my charade.

This is a plead, A cry.
For someone to save me.

But I know, that no one will.
They are all too busy.

Too busy in their own Affairs,
To notice some one as broken as me.

Why talk to me, after I ask?
Don't bother.

I'm done with you.
You and your lies.

My lies.
Good-bye
