Immunity

The pretense of sincerity will never extend beyond its mask and even though a puddle reflects the endless sky its shallow containment will eventually turn dry As the players in the field of emotionally turn their hearts away from feeling too much their stories of life are never written or match the bravery of those who have given Knowledge of self the pretenders feign they are immune to vulnerability they are secure beyond the strength of the weak Only their lips pronounce of love but yet they never speak so sweet it slips from their tongue with all the romance of a bouquets abjure Everyones heart can be broken still to be sure they won’t be the one all the world is a mirror in which to discover themselves As a shadow a practiced art to elude and temporary becomes the ease of aloof must find new ground in another's arms but to their ending give every excuse Just as a puddle can reflect the depths of the sky they are misunderstood in their shrinking confines the blazing sun is this sheet of paper on which these words were written
