Tonight's prompt was "Is this one of those times I'm supposed to lie?"
Is this one of those times I’m supposed to lie?
Tell me the truth now.
Hm, how do I know I can believe you?
Is this one of those times when the truth might hurt?
Or get me into trouble?
Or cause too much pain?
Tell me the truth now.
Don’t lie just to make me feel better.
Is this one of those times when I’m better off not answering?
And my silence will either be the right answer
Or the wrong answer
But at least I didn’t say it.
Tell me the truth now,
Not answering won’t help.
Is this one of those times when I should know what to do?
And if I don’t know then I am the problem?
And if I don’t know then I am the problem?
Harsh.
Truth or dare
Truth or a lie.
The whole truth and nothing but the truth.
I swear,
Sometimes I just don’t think I know
what to say,
how to say it,
what the truth is,
or the wrong answer comes out before I think of the right one.
Is this one of those times I’m supposed to lie?
If so, I don’t want to.
If so, I don’t want to.
I don’t like being told what to do.
And that is no lie.
