A metastatic cancer patient gets told" you'll be fine"
Of-course we know people don't get back from that
But they need a nice lie
So they can at-least fight to survive

My Daddy on his sick bed told me " son I will make it and I will see my great grand children"
Of-course he knew what my ears needed
So he told me that nice lie
(He died few hours later)at-least he made me smile

Mummy's face full of tears and worried all I could say was" I am fine, don't worry about me"
I thought that was what she wanted to hear
She knew I tell worst lies, she stood up and hugged me
At-least she didn't get to see my eyes full of tears

Got home to face a lot of query from my siblings but my answer was "Dad is fine and will be home "
Of-course I knew what they would accept easily
So I spread my worst lies at home
In order to hold the tears, Introverted innocey had to start being friendly

Later when the real truth got aired, tears was shed
Plans was made, corpse was laid
"We'll be all fine, it's just going to some little time and we'll move on with our lies"

I tell worst lies, the feelings still stuck within

Yours sincerely Innocey23
