The lies I've learned
Lie #1
Please, don't make a splash
It's better to be ignored
Head down, stay quiet
Lie #2
Everyone is fine
Well, everyone except you
Maybe you're just weird...
Lie #3
You are all alone
It's a dog-eat-dog world, here
You can trust no one
Lie #4
Kindness will cost you
They will stab you in the back
Never let them in
Lie #5
You can't help people
You'll never be a hero
You should stop trying
Lie #6
Don't ever forgive
Take revenge when possible
But do it swiftly
Lie #7
Never take a risk
Only love the lovable
Stay in the shadows
Lie #8
You can't recover
If you're drowning, then you'll drown
There's no lifeguard here
Lie #9
Always be ruthless
Get on top, no matter what
You just have to win
Lie #10
There is no magic
The world is just as it looks
There is no hope

Please, overcome these lies. They've hurt me and held me back. I don't want anyone else to believe them like I once did. Be yourself, take risks, send kindness to others. You are not alone. There will always be a sunrise.
