Living a Lie

Here I was pretending Not to see the truth that laid before me. Forever suppressing my correct thoughts That were safely locked up in my unconscious. But, presenting my views and opinion as if The truth never existed… Here I was ignoring To look at the truth that laid before me. Always repressing my real feelings From the cockle of my heart. Yet, smiling and beaming as if The truth never existed… Here I was avoiding To face the truth that laid before me. Constantly curbing my true actions That stood at the edge of my cognizance. Nevertheless, displaying my pseudo me as if The truth never existed… But only to finally learn that With the forever, always and constant lie, Lie that I was living Was a short life. And only the truth has the Forever, always and constant life.
