Too Good To Be True
When all that is good is too good to be true
All inspiration are works of fiction
The things worthwhile fade to misty hues
Of faded greens and dreary blues
Life’s rewards are met with friction
Trying hard to understand why
Things go so very sadly awry
Running from the lonely darkness
To stay in the contented light
Waiting for hope’s good salvation
To relieve a feeling of desperation
That follows like a tainted blight.
The path seems aimless
And fears are nameless
Is it really any great wonder, a lack of trust
The ethics of humanity are useless dust
And experiences leave much to construe
And a feeling that any good seems to good to be true
