Disguised As the Truth

Entangled in reality,
you're trapped in depression's web.
And at times, 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 blindsided by its 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.
