Tell Her

Tell her she's pretty...
   Because she doesn't think she is.

Tell her she's smart...
   Because all of her mistakes make her feel stupid.

Tell her she's good enough...
   Because she's been treated like she isn't...

Tell her she's amazing...
   Because no one really thinks she is...

Tell her she's perfect...
   Because she's incredibly flawed...

Tell her she's going to find a happy ending...
   Because everything seems like it is going wrong...

Tell her she is worth it...
   Because she feels worthless...

Tell her lies...
   Because at this point she will believe them...

If you tell her the truth, she's bound to misunderstand.
Tell her lies. Go ahead.


Lie to me.

So this was a piece I wrote and thought "whoa" once I finished. It was something I wanted to get out of me and did and it felt awesome to have it on paper. This is my 2nd favorite piece I've ever written and one I will never forget. I hope it can mean as much to you as it does to me and it can show you that when people compliment you, it may seem like lies, but usually the ones who mean it are the ones who wouldn't lie to you and in your life you should know who they are.
