The "Lie" Word

I am sitting in the chair, writing in agony.
a demon, a minor demon, is pinning me there,
fucking with my head.

What do I wanna know about lies?
I'm not a liar. I try again to get up this time,
I felt myself screaming.
I'll tell you about lies.

There are white lies and
black lies, and many shades of gray lies.

But some lies are justified.
Lies told out of kindness.
Lies that preserve dignity.
Lies that spare pain.

Everybody's a liar.
