Lies

If you’re clever and can lie

No one will think to check your thigh

For slender marks upon the flesh

Made by the razor you so dearly caress

If you hide your emotions well

And wear a smile so no one can tell

That maybe something isn’t right

Then you can continue on your miserable life

But if you stop and ask for help

And get someone who has dealt

With similar problems in their lives,

Then you my friend are very wise

Because sometimes in our times of need

All we need is a simple good deed

A “how are you today”

Or a “are you okay?”

Because sometimes just a simple phrase

Can help someone live another day
