Apart of You [Poetry]

White Lies

White lies, is what I call them,
White lies that wouldn't hurt a fly,
The lie that 'I'm okay',
When in reality I wasn't okay,
I was hurting inside.

White lies, like 'I love you',
When truly I wanted nothing to do with you,
The lie of 'I'm going to change',
When I'm not sure what I should change.

The lie of 'I won't cut myself',
When I did harm myself night after night,
These white lies they consumed me,
White lies that drove me insane.
Lies are lies, regardless what you call them,
These white lies now haunt my brain.
