lies I tell my therapist

The lies I tell my therapist
Are daydreams that I can't resist
They're narratives I'm forced to spin
That rise unbidden from within

But are they lies? - I just don't know
I sometimes think they are, although
It also seems to be a lie
If I would simply just deny

The things I say - so I'm confused
I wish I could be disabused
Of inner voices that deceive
But maybe some I should believe

I think in genres that transcend
Dichotomies that pit pretend
Narratives against the true
Semi-lies will have to do

I thought of starting it

The lies I tell my therapist

Include the claim that I exist

but not even I know what I could mean by that

That was from me, C. We are trying to get used to Thunderbird. I wish we
didn't have to change. I knew how things worked before.
