For every truth, I've told a lie
This isn't something I admit easily
because the truth becomes a broken piece of me
that I hollow and hide
cocoon in a web of lies.
But for every lie I've told a truth
This is something I can say freely
As the lies are nice, but not entirely
The truth becomes a pillow
my mind becomes the bed.
And I guess this is what they call being honest
Being open with yourself
On open days the lies will sit
waiting on a shelf
waiting for me to change the bedsheets.
