Concealed Reality
"Truth shall always prevail",
... Or so I have heard.
It's merely been a year,
Yet, can't seem to recover.
Crying for help?
"Oof, grow up" they'll scoff.
Lo and behold!
The mask of deception... I found.
Been an open book for over a decade,
It Can't be that knackering to tell a lie to someone's face.
Aeons and aeons thereafter,
Pretending seems to have adjusted herself,
to my life with a knowing laughter.
"Heyy everything good?" they'd pry,
"Oh just wonderful", I'd smile and blatantly lie.
It has been a while you know,
Since I've seen the true face of reality.
Now that I yearn for it,
I just wanna get rid of this morality.
It's too late at this point,
Venturing further will make me paranoid.
To conclude this on a "factual" note,
This world houses wolves in sheep's clothes.
I twist and turn in my sleep,
Baffled by the fact of this mystery.
How in the universe were we blind,
To see the true nature of OUR kind.
I stand here,
And I solemnly declare:
There's a concealed reality,
Of which we remain unaware.
