Challenge
According to a 2017 study done by me, stardustfalling (PhD in imagination, depression, and depressing poetry), "I'm fine" is the most commonly told lie in the world. Write about it, in any format you choose.
not a lie
feet shuffle and dance, wanting to run
hands push and pull against each other
eyes are on the floor, on the walls, but not meeting
your worried gaze
you ask if i'm okay
i tell you i'm fine
i'm not.
later, you'll come and find me
and ask me why i lied
I'll laugh, and tell you that
it's not a lie if i can make it true
