Jumping Through Hoops

Jumping Through Hoops



     Systematic nervous breakdown, head filled full of lies
         Walking around uncertain looking up towards the skies

          The reality of life in question, running short on supplies
               Looking for this person who chooses to wear a disguise

               Susceptible to any reason, boy how the time just flies
                    Searching for a greeting but receiving unwanted goodbyes

                         The sincerity of this treason, inside my life slowly dies
                              Running from the reasons the beginning of my demise

                              Separation must have meaning, continually each eye cries
                                  Hiding from the story that I already read within your eyes

                                  The mentality goes on slipping, last word to the wise
                                       Talking with confusion, getting nothing back in replies

                                       Deception achieved in cruelty, no approval only denies
                                            Jumping through the hoops of your apocalyptic surprise...



                                                                           bmdavey@05/06/17
