That Closed Door

“What is the truth? Answer honestly. Whenever someone will ask her that question, she always answers with a lie. It’s like this: When unwrapped from the paper that covers the lies, you’ll see the truth is not a sweet candy or a chocolate that appears appealing. It’s really an ugly truth. And it is like in the way that skin is needed to shelter blood; she necessitates lies to cover the truth about her. More than being honest and exposing her scars, that woman found it safer to lie with a brilliant smile.”
