Little Lies

I thought I was an extrovert- 

I'm not. 

I can't talk to somebody unless they approach me first.

 So I don't correct when somebody says something that's wrong, 

I let them believe something that isn't true

 because I can't speak up for myself. 

That's a lie. I would speak up. 

But I've been taught not to because my opinion doesn't matter. 

Even if it's fact about myself.

 I used to be loud. 

And I still am,

 just only around certain people. 

The one time I corrected somebody 

when they said something wrong,

they didn't believe me; 

until somebody else backed me up. 

But I think they still hold a spot in their mind f

or something that was never true. 

Because they would rather try to believe a lie that they spent so long thinking was true-

 than admit they were wrong.

    You just have to find the right people. 

  • 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?
