Lie and Escape

When everyone around me calls it a lie

My inner self contest it with what is true

With the amount of pain, I almost die

Each passing day, the ache inside slowly grew

It’s not a lie, but I call it my escape

Am not affected with the words they threw

‘Cause I have an armor, best known as cape

No amount of wound can make me bleed

Since I will be patching it with loads of tape

Serene life is the truth and that’s what I need

Not to escape but to strengthen the inner being

A hard choice for a simple deed
