We Know

When life so bleeds from open wounds
Its self-inflicting pain
While night pretends to hide the truth
We know

Our lives are spent in vain
As days expose all that which hurts
And pains us to reveal
The truth which makes us look away
We know

Our lives were never real
It seems we wander blindly on
To never touch the sun
With dreams suppressed, to never strive
We know

It’s all, it’s everyone

"While night pretends to hide the truth We know" My favorite line. It is difficult to face the truth, face reality. It is part of being human - consciously or unconsciously, we are exposed to the truth one way or the other. Very interesting, thought-provoking work! Always, Laura
