Lie To Me

Lie to me, about what you think of me

Lie to me, about what you see

Lie to me, and tell me that I’m worth it

‘It’ being your love for me.

Tell me that I’m pretty

Tell me that I’m smart

Tell me what I couldn’t tell myself -

That I’m a work of art.

I’m Aditi Surendran, a high school student based in India. This poem focuses on how young people like me always focus on how other perceive us and require validation from an external force.
