Do I Lie?

I'm not sure why I'm writing
I don't feel particularly broken right now
Why do I lie?
Is it a lie?
When I smile
Do I lie?
When you ask how my day has been
Do I lie?
When I laugh but nothing is funny
Do I lie?

I laughed
So hard
I cried

That's a lie

I laughed
So I
Would not
Cry

But I did
I cried
It felt good

It had been too long
Since I had cried
It had been too often
That I had lied

Monday:
I spilled bleach on my shirt
Pre Cal made no sense

Tuesday:
Your words truly hurt
My life made no sense

I was licked today
Twice
Not a dog
My shoe was stolen today
Twice
Not a dog

Still
The actions could have been worse
I didn't like that shirt
I wasn't using my shoe

Still
I felt pain
Not at the actions of the day

But
I felt pain
From the day

I feel pain
From life
From living

I choose to say
That my depression has gone away
Do I lie?

Should I lie?
Do I care if I lie?
If I say I want to die
Do I lie?

I choose to say
That my depression has gone away
Do I lie?
