The Prompt:What have you done that no one knows about, or what are you afraid of exposing about yourself?
Necessary Untruths
A game of hide-and-seek
not behind chairs or under tables
within thickets or crouched in deep culverts
but obscured between sharp truths.
That white lie
you tell yourself
just to keep going.

Judy’s poem for the Sandbox Writing Challenge just hit so close to home I had to reblog it. Actually has me counting all the little white lies I tell myself just to get through the day.

I read this daily prompt and I said to myself, “say what, have they gone mad.” Who in their right mind wants to share this type of information?
Great job Judy.
