Duped
The destination was hazy
My longing was going crazy
I hastened to reach it faster
The desire to conquer grew greater
The nearer I approached, the more it receded
Logic seemed to be more and more depleted
Was it my imagination or was my destination within reach?
For my whole life for this only cause I did preach
Like a mirage it looked
Yet how come I was hooked
A staunch believer I was, duped by lies
My imagination's fruit reflected in my eyes
A voyeur I had become wandering without reason
I had set out to reach the horizon
