Lies

Every compliment sounds like a lie,

No matter how many times I hear one,

How it's worded,

Or what it's about.


My eyes only see the worst,

My mind only believes the bad,

And all I see is forgettable.


He says all these compliments,

Every.

Single.

Day.

But all I see them as,

Are just attempts to flatter me.


They're nothing but lies.
