Decoy

Words are just a decoy An excuse to dance around the truth Underestimated silence Proves language is uncouth Your gut will always tell you What your heart tries to ignore Most try their best to silence it Stirring an internal war Why deny yourself of happiness? Why pretend logic is correct? Why hide behind a curtain? Why pretend our hearts select? Ignorance is truly bliss Too bad that's not our case Lets take a risk and show our courage Let our souls meet face to face.

My favorite line "words are just a decoy" So simply stated, but holds so much more. Love reading your work Leah, keep it up.
