The Honest Lie

Today my friend asked me a question.

Would you rather be living a comfortable lie,

or know an uncomfortable truth?

I wanted to say, The truth. Always.

But what if that's not true?

What if I didn't know how to answer,

because even if it's a hypothetical question 

I still wouldn't want the things I know and love to change?

Is that wrong of me?

To not yearn for the truth that everybody else wants?

Is it wrong of me to hesitate,

because I want to answer honestly?

Do you want me to say:

Even if I had good memories,

I'd never miss it, because it was all a lie.

But it's not true, it's just not.

And I'm not sorry for it.

I wouldn't say the truth.

I'd say a comfortable lie.

Because unlike most people that get asked this question-

I'm honest with myself.

I like the idea of being noble, and saying the truth,

but I don't like actually saying it.
