Lazily I Lie

Look at me.
A terrible mess.
Zones like in a battle.
I have a constant war with myself. You're
Late, but still present. Unfortunately,
You can't stop the inevitable.

In between shaky breaths, I answer I'm okay.

Like you won't even notice something is wrong.
I hope you see through my lies, but
Everyone else has not.
