Confusion

confusion is a state of mind
not easily overcome
It can be difficult or not so much
each to their own

hearing one thing and seeing another
the most common kind
can cause breaks in friendships
and tears in hearts

the not-so-known
and the seldom seen
occur in ones mind
while one sleeps

mixing dreams with reality
and leaving scars
undistinguishable form lies
leaving deception

unable to be drained
from the minds of humanity
confusion has been and always
will be, humanity's greatest defeat
