dear moon,

and i'll warn
you once again —

don't ask me
' how are
you doing '

because then
i would have
to say ' i'm
just fine '
while tears
spill from
my eyes

don't question
' what's wrong '

because i then
i would have to
say ' nothing
everything is great '
while a pretty
smile is forced
upon my face

don't tell me
' life gets better '

because then i
would have to
say ' hopefully '
while i'm screaming
on the inside

don't comfort
me with ' stay
strong '

because then i would
have to say ' i'll try '
while i'm dying
inside

i'm
reaching
the limit — of
how many times
i can lie (to you
and everyone one else)
