the lies

someone asked me how i was doing
such a funny thing
because it's so easy to shoot out the answer they want
lying through your teeth
it became a game
seeing how quickly you can respond
seeing how quick your brain responds to the small attack
threatening to break down the walls I fought so hard to put up
so you get so desperate to keep them out
to keep the glass from shattering
because if people saw the wreck that was beneath the act,
i would be worthless
and then I will have lost
because that's all it is right?
a game
a never ending game.
