Tim Riding Poet Sonnet

Living a Lie

Living a lie

	 On reflection, life has always been a lie.
	 Dark clouds gathering, follow where I tread,
	 And in my heart I carry countless thoughts
	 Of things I fear, the destiny I dread.
	 The truth?  The reasons make me question why
	 It takes a lifetimes path to comprehend
	 Just what it takes to fully realize
	 That good or bad mean nothing in the end.
	 Unselfish acts accepted without thought,
	 Of sacrifices made and chances lost,
	 To live a dream I've had since I was born
	 And now, too late, I have to count the cost.
		Life will end, for soon the time is nigh,
		So kill the dreams, forget, and simply die.
