"Out of fear that you might worry over nothing or misunderstand me I started to lie."
March 13th
I started dieting.
But I hid that from you.
I knew you wouldn't approve
Because you told me
My pudgy stomach,
Squeezable cheeks,
And thicker thighs,
Made me very beautiful.
This fad was only going to be temporary
And I hope you won't notice
I don't want you to worry over something silly.
When you asked if I ate
I would smile and nod
Knowing my stomach was growling
When you asked me why I hid unlabeled pills in the bathroom
I would smile and say it was for my headaches
You knew to believe me
Because why would I lie?
But then guilt would loom over me
Like a dark cloud
Even my little white lies
Can hurt you.
I didn't want you to worry.
I just wanted to see you smile.
