Biggest Lie
They caused so much pain,
That can’t be explained.
Just stay in your lane,
No point to complain.
I will never be heard,
I will never be yearned.
I lie awake at night,
Asking if I should fight.
Or just deal with it.
Live with it,
Internalize it,
Others have it worse,
This is not a curse,
Just hide,
Make up a lie,
I just want to die—
Wait—
Sorry, slip of the tongue,
Rewind, that was wrong.
Meant to say: I’m fine.
I’m fine, I’m fine;
I swear to the heavens,
I am fine.

Yep, we all try to deny the pain. Nicely done.
Some great lines. I like the change in direction, the trying to stuff everything back in the box.
A well written poem with very good couplets and cadence.Could be converted to music!
