THE LIES I TELL MYSELF

 i tell myself 
that you 
love my breath 
and 
that you think 
I'm the best 
out of 
everyone else 
when
 actually
you don't 
even want 
me around 
but  i tell  myself 
certain things 
or 
i care 
to share 
my hopes 
and dreams 
so that 
i won't 
breakdown 
on this 
earthly ground
