Everyone lies

that's the truth.

Some lie about big things

Some lie about small things

Some lie to protect others

Some lie to protect themselves

Some lie out of fear

Some lie out of love

Some lie to normalise

Some lie to destroy

Some even lie out of habit

Some even lie as a hobby

It is hard to tell the truth,

it is even harder

to hear the truth.

Why hurt you more

than you already are?

But darling,

withholding the truth,

is a lie

by itself.
