[hometext] => Why is the answer to this question always a lie?
[bodytext] => Not terribly poetic I feel, but important all the same. We all do it, I wish never to let the chance to ease someone’s pain slip by again. Why do we torture ourselves and those around us? When in pain a friend will ask ‘Are You OK?’ The reply is always a lie: ‘Yes’ Denying both the need of help, and the desire to give it. Leaving one worried about what is wrong, And why they are denied the opportunity to help. While the other struggles alone in pain.
