“I can tell you are a genuine person” “I can tell you are honest” I must plead, With everyone I meet: “You do not know what I have done” “You cannot trust me” “I have hurt people” It started small, “I am fine” “I don’t need anything” “It doesn’t hurt” Until I became numb to the lies I am a storyteller at heart— Yet I cannot find the author behind the mask
