Make Believe
The lingering ghosts in our haunted minds
Follow us throughout the pressing days
Not just in the inevitable night
As we lay awake scared in bed
Reminding us of actions and revealing consequences
We pretend it is make believe
For the slightest feeling of relief
Yet continue to burn bridges down
Watching castles of effort crumble to the ground
Observing the disturbing chaos all around
Collecting treasures we have found
If we take a minute standing amongst the deep rubble
And destruction to look around
We see the ghosts of consequence in their deathly form walking through our dreams
Convincing ourselves it is all make believe.
