Disastrous Lie | Kellie Britton

and so here we are again
in the same place we were before
talking about nothing different –
pretending everything is ok
when it clearly isn’t – and why
should it matter anyway because,
even if it were, we wouldn’t
work on anything important –
always skirting the issue
acting as if nothing is going on –
living a massive, disastrous lie
