If You Tell a Lie

by Lucinda Berry

Break you out of your comfort zone, because it was only outside of your comfort zone that you discovered the freedom to be who you truly were.

Do you know how much work it takes to pretend like you’re fine every day? To be the sunshine when you’re really the darkness?

It just wasn’t fair that the people who got the best treatment were the ones who could pay for it. While the rest of us were at the mercy of our meager bank accounts, even though we worked just as hard.

Sometimes there were wounds you just couldn’t heal from, even after they became scars.
