This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Xavier chapter.
Everyday we are lied to.Â
Everyday we tell a lie.Â
You ask the question,Â
“How are you?”Â
The reply you get isÂ
Always a Lie.Â
No one is fine.Â
We hide behindÂ
Lies.Â
Our tear neverÂ
Shed in front of thoseÂ
We barely know.Â
We lie and sayÂ
“I’m fine”Â
To spare them the expenseÂ
Of seeing our pain.Â
And to convince ourselvesÂ
That we indeed are fine.
