Yes we lie
When we say we are not hungry when people offer us food we cannot have
When someone is wearing something outlandish, and compliments make a day
When we tell our little kids we are not tired and can play that last game with her
When we say "I have done this"- to save a young nervous trainee in front of a client
Saying no to that last piece of bread when we know there's not enough to go around
Smiling bravely when our heart breaks
Being brave when our souls are crippled
Hiding that tear
Ignoring that insult
Pretending not to know that there are things being carefully left unsaid
We lie
That's what makes us bond
Shows our love
Our strength
Yes, it's ok to lie
At times.
