Searching For Norms

The human heart bears the scars of lies,
cause deceit is intrinsic to Man.
And should the bonds of trust unravel,
Reality copes the best it can.
Betrayal is all too familiar;
feeling trapped, with no way to retreat.
For when life's non-receptive to dreams,
you get trolled by failure and defeat.
Wanting to find a pathway to love;
Hope persuades your heart to take a chance.
But when lies overshadow the truth,
dreams 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 confusing emotions
can weigh down a heart drowning in tears.
And tides of regret rise as you sleep;
stirring nightmares and dredging up fears.
