Pacify

How much will it cost

To feed them lies?

Little white ones are growing to cover even my shadow

Usurping my ability to keep up with them,

But I must continue to do so,

To pacify those that love me enough to ask

So I can show them I love them enough not to tell.

Enough not to tell? A very true line. Why do people hurt each other with the truth. If it is just to lift your burden then think again. Do not feed the fire of pain with white lies. A good short piece. To the point and it really touched me.

Sparing loved ones the pain of realization and reality to further satisfy their desires and expectations. I find it rather intriguing that children do this to make their parents believe that their way of raising the children is perfect, and that the parents do this to their children to shield them from the horrors of reality (which they will face inevitably, one day). You portray it so well, keep it up.
