Disguised As the Truth
Entangled in reality;
you're trapped in depression's web.
And sometimes, you feel overwhelmed
as your emotions flow and ebb.
Buried within myths and clichés;
the secret of happiness lies.
And the tides of hope rise each day,
only to fall within your eyes.
Time choreographs the setting;
and a bleeding sun dies for you.
And blind-sided by your beauty;
it's easy to believe it's true.
Frustration and disappointment
reduce fantasies to a tease.
And your heart seeks sanctuary;
from a lifetime filled with unease.
Wasted years and corrosive tears
levy an extravagant toll.
But you pursue undying love;
searching every heart for a soul.
You are leery of all the lies
doggedly disguised as the truth.
And yet, like a breeze rustling leaves,
desire stirs the passions of youth.
