Adversity

She said it was because I smiled,but that didn't stop me from smiling.She said that it was because I was so beautiful,but that didn't keep me from looking in the mirror.She said it was because she loved me,but that didn't stop me from knowing what real love is.She said it was because she couldn't help herself,but I've helped her on many occassions.all these lies,she spoke to me,as a child,for her pleasure,I was used to please,and all the time,I couldn't have known,all the lies she told me would make me strong.*Charlie*
