The three little lies we tell ourselves daily: yes, maybe, and it's fine.
So small. So common. So devastating.
yes when we mean no. maybe when we're drowning in the grey. it's fine when everything is falling apart.
In this raw collection of 72 poems, Courtney Ann exposes the lies that kept her small, the maybes that stole her time, and all the ways fine became a mask for pain. From compliance born of fear to the limbo of indecision to the numbness of denial, these poems map the journey from lying to survive to finally speaking truth.
For anyone who's ever said yes to keep the peace, lived in maybe to avoid conflict, or whispered I'm fine through tears-this is your permission to stop.
is it true? no. it's definitely not true. i said yes to please you.
Sometimes the smallest lies leave the biggest scars.
