lies

lies

A Poem by Courtney Hough

I've been raised in a lie,

one that still fools them.

but they think I'm the fool and dammed.

I cannot live this way,

nor do I want to.

My addiction to harm myself lingers,

for its been too long,

and skin has been calling since my fall from grace.

But why should I feel the need to hide?

I'm no longer in brainwashing darkness...

I'm only disowned from who I thought loved me.
