I Can't Stop Lying to Myself

I was always told that if you say something enough times,

That it will come true,

So I walk around telling people that I don't have feelings.

If you don't have feelings, no one can hurt them.

You'll never be sad or angry, so it could be worth it.

It doesn't work though,

Saying things so many times,

It just makes you wish that you would stop lying to yourself.

I lie to myself.

I tell myself that I don't have feelings,

I tell myself that no one can hurt me.

I think it's okay for me to lie to myself though,

If everyone else is okay then I am too.
