An Understatement by Nicole Assenza My face is burning These literal words Just can’t exaggerate My heart is aching With fictions I’m just dying to read The truth is I spent too much time On the outside And I really just Like to lie 12/03/2005 Posted on 12/03/2005 Copyright © 2025 Nicole Assenza Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Max Bouillet on 12/04/05 at 02:03 AM The truth is hard to discern. The fictions are hard to live with but we crave them and the self-deception that accompanies them. Great read.
