Lies. What a concept. If you think about it we are lied to as soon as we step foot into this terrifying world. If you think about it, our whole lives are made of lies.
I remember the first big one that shocked me to my very core. Such an unimportant one, but it marked me, it's carved deep inside my mind. I remember looking up at my parents with tears in my childish eyes that couldn't see the magic anymore and saying: "What do you mean Santa's not real?" Oh what a torment it was, to understand that I had been lied to all along. Because so much innocence, so much magic can be taken away so fast...
God, it's such an evil thing that slowly snakes its way into our lives without us even realizing it. By what we're told, and what we say. Because it may have started with small ones, like: "no I didn't eat the last piece of cake" or "of course I did my homework", or even "I have no idea what you're talking about". And soon it turns into devasting and untruthfuls "I love you"s and tears you swear are fake, you fight to hide, when they are a sign of what's going on inside. And if that wasn't hurtful enough, sometimes, you say the worst one of all...
I'm fine.
But that's a lie

PoetryIf there was a price in emotion, this book would cost it all... Our tears were melodies that made our feelings a symphony. My life flashed before my eyes. And I got to fall in love with you all over again. I'm fine. But that's a lie.
