Fake

My life is merely a cardboard cut-out that just fell over... 
Lies and nothing more...
Been acting like things were good...
Like I wasn't walking out the door...
I realized as it all fell apart, 
how fragile life can be...
How opaque, extreme, mired and cold...
In a prison, yet you're free...

We are all prisoners in this place but the prison of the mind is hard to find! For some..may his blessing and peace find you my friend.
