Scripted Tears
Life is a poorly penned poem,
punctuated by emotions.
And lacking in substance and weight,
fate feels abstract and mystical.
Influencing both heart and soul,
love touts its own philosophy.
And postulates its existence
as the pinnacle of feelings.
Sometimes life's scary or painful,
while at others, it's filled with joy.
Yet, there are similarities
fueling its overall theme.
Hope's the predominant rhythm,
encouraging feats of magic.
And reveals the reality,
hiding in thoughts of fantasy.
Curiosity turns life's page,
always leaving you wanting more.
And trust fades to an illusion,
conjured to appease scripted tears.
