Don't Write a Lie (by megsy89)
(35 / F-MF / South Carolina)One day, years from now
If you should write of me
Please don’t tell the world a lie
Don’t tell the world it’s beautiful
To fight a mental illness
Because nothing that went on in my head
Was beautiful, it was a mess
Tell the world instead
That some days I needed a break from my own mind
But the silence I sought was hard fought to find
The good and the bad days blurred
When the good days came
It was like the sun through the clouds
After long nights without
But the bad days rolled in like ocean waves
Drowning me in their vastness
And knocking me down to the ocean floor.
Don’t use beautiful lines of prose.
Please don’t lie when you tell my story
Call it a war,
And un-wrap everything slowly,
All the bloody broken, ugly, lonely, hurtful thoughts
Write of my battle within in harsh ugly words
Words that fall on the page in splotches of imperfection
Words full of pain and truth
Ones that bleed from the soul
Don’t pretty it up with trappings of finery
Don’t use pretty paper and ink
Don’t waste lovely words on this
For there is nothing beautiful
In fighting with your own mind
