it's all a lie

I'm fine

you look great

this too will pass

without lies

life unendurable insufferable

reality weighing too massive

mirrors crackled shattered

the things we tell ourselves

to just get through the day

without inflicting offense

to the fragile frail brittle world

too feeble debilitated coddled

since birth

into believing truth is harmful

so we lie

to get by

don't worry I'm fine
