Hunted By a Lie

Did you find the exact life you wished for,
  do you have the money you craved

Did you find they were not the same at all 
  once that final purchase was made

Are you feeling nothing but emptiness
  sitting here disillusioned and alone

Have the mirrors all been taken down 
 —stark reminders of the falsehood you’ve known

A most interesting read. Hunted instead of haunted in the title that you would expect...
