I lie to everyone about everything, especially me.
I say I’m not tired when I am, I say I’m hungry when I’m not.
I tell people what they want to hear,
and never say what I’m actually feeling.
I let the lies pile up like bricks on a wall,
until I can’t see out and no one else can see in.
I make a plan to escape.
I become someone else.
I put on a disguise,
and I climb over the wall,
and no one recognizes me.
I feel powerful.
I get people to do what I want them to do,
but I go too far, I get lost,
and I don’t recognize myself.
so I take off my disguise,
I give away the power,
I give up the control,
I retrace my steps, go back to the wall,
and I take it down, brick by brick.
I bury them to mark the place,
strip away all the lies until there are none left.
I remember the girl I left behind,
I claim the confidence I was missing.
I envision the woman I want to be,
tell everyone the truth about everything, especially you.
