Denial

Why must I deny the truth?
The enviability of seeing it is painful
Sometimes coping isn't a thing
Sometimes we must deny to cope
I deny her passing
Not for me but for my family
They must see the strong me
My denial makes me "strong"
My denial makes it "ok"
My denial will destroy me
It will take over my fragile psyche
It will make be believe false truths
I'm not telling you to avoid denial
I'm telling you to control it
Take control before it ends you
Why must I deny the truth?
