Searching For Norms
The human heart bears the weight of lies:
as it has since betrayal began.
And when the bonds of trust unravel,
Reality copes the best it can.
Frustration is all too familiar
when life's trolled by failure and defeat.
And seeming non-receptive to dreams,
Love falters: then begins to retreat.
Seeking another pathway to love,
trust persuades your heart to take a chance.
But when lies overshadow the truth,
hopes collapse, as if pierced by a lance.
Struggling in desperation's grip;
teardrops fuel emotional storms.
And fighting feelings of depression,
you're mired in self-doubt: searching for norms.
A wave of conflicting emotions
scuttles your heart in a sea of tears.
And tides of regret ebb in your sleep;
exposing derelict dreams and fears.
