Telling Lies #Poetry

They say to be yourself,
but then shoot you down if you are

They say that you’re loved,
but every action shows otherwise

They say that life has meaning,
but they have no proof

They say I light up their life,
but all I see is darkness

I’ve gotten so used
to people telling me useless lies
that I’ve started to tell them myself

I say I’m okay
but I’m not

      You should stop taking pills and learn to live a life in a positive manner with hope…

        That’s the point I can’t just not take pills, My mom and dad are making me take these pills to help my depression but yet guess want it ain’t helping me to remember how to smile for real instand of faking the smile that looks real it hurts you know and Also I act like I am happy around my family because it makes them happy that the pills are working which their not, if you were in my shoes you would know that I am taking these pills so my mom and dad and the rest of my family happy I have no time to make myself happy because I am too busy trying to keep everyone else around me happy,

    People, who are themselves flawed, say things not backed up by action. You are every bit as worthy as anyone else.

    I think this is the best way you can state the dilemma of mind. Today motivational speaker and everyone around us speak all this stuff but practise less. Hey but we shouldn’t give up. Yes we must keep on focusing on the positive stuff of the life. We must keep on thinking about all the good things that are happening in our life rather than focusing on useless stuff.
    Loved your post. 👍👍❤️❤️😊

    Thanks for sharing. Don’t join the liars, find the right words. Perhaps a better response to “how are you?” might be “I’m the best I can be. Thanks”. Take care.
