Reality is a stark, ugly truth,
stripped of its veneer of make-believe.
Your choices in life define the parameters
of your imagination.
And hardening your resolve to survive,
experience grinds a cutting edge
on cold cast-iron cynicism,
smelted in the crucibles of love
and forged in the flames of passion.
And you realize
what you thought was your unique vibe,
is naught but white noise;
a hiss, unheard in a crowd of similar fools.
But the pain of love lost
and the bewilderment of love found,
is the opiate of the naïve and lonely.
So when life's darker side emerges,
wild and erotic,
unshackled demons
cause havoc and mayhem.
And extinguishing hope's last sparks of light,
depression claims its prize
amongst the misunderstood and stressed.
For life oft leaves one struggling with feelings
of helplessness and uncertainty
pursuing that most elusive of dreams,
unconditional love.
