What About the Truth?
The lies people tell are fascinating. From the smallest thing to the biggest. One day, you lie so much it turns into truth. I’m not sure what’s a lie and what’s true anymore. People lie daily, but sometimes I want to hear the lies because I can’t take the truth. I lie to myself constantly because I am afraid. I am afraid that if the truth comes out, I will crumble like a cookie. The truth can be terrifying to the point that it breaks people down from everything that they are built on. Lies can help sometimes. But other times they only hurt. I never know how to trust somebody fully or how to be truthful because I fear how they’ll react. Trust is a sacred thing. It takes time to gain, but can be lost quickly. I write, not to tell a story, but to express how I feel. It's rather comforting. But I am so scared of the truth that I can’t face facts about how fake I am. How I act before others isn’t who I am. I act like this girl who is proper, funny, silly, serious, and happy. But, conclusively, I am a lost, scared girl who isn’t happy, who wants to feel and be loved, who wants to fit in and not be this fake person, who wants to be happy and feel wonderful, and who wants this non-perfect guy, but that is perfect in my world: To be who I want to be and not who others want me to be. And someday I will get there, but right now I am here. So, I'm affirmative I have dreams that I will accomplish. This day, and I don't try, I do. I do my best to get where I need to be.
