Living a Lie
Here I was pretending
Not to see the truth that laid before me.
Forever suppressing my correct thoughts
That were safely locked up in my unconscious.
But, presenting my views and opinion as if
The truth never existed…
Here I was ignoring
To look at the truth that laid before me.
Always repressing my real feelings
From the cockle of my heart.
Yet, smiling and beaming as if
The truth never existed…
Here I was avoiding
To face the truth that laid before me.
Constantly curbing my true actions
That stood at the edge of my cognizance.
Nevertheless, displaying my pseudo me as if
The truth never existed…
But only to finally learn that
With the forever, always and constant lie,
Lie that I was living
Was a short life.
And only the truth has the
Forever, always and constant life.
