Pretty Little Lies
All of the Pretty Little Lies.
Are they better than all of the ugly big truths?
Would it be good to be like an Ostrich,
burying our heads in the sand,
ignoring things, believing the pretty little lies?
Or do we rip of the plaster,
expose, the soft delicate skin,
and let it heal by itself
as nature, rather than man, intended?
