All pie-eyed, I leapt up in the sky to defy
And to decry my flightless plight, that I deny.
I made my wings of feathers, wax and strings,
All strung together with rings, springs and other things.
But aghast, I flew too high, too close to sun's hot blast,

The truth stood downcast in the lie,
thinking it was better this way;
time would, our feelings, nullify
and let the mem’ry fade away.

Silhouettes hugging on a pier
the truth stood downcast in the lie:
“I’ll be home soon, no need to fear”
And quiv’ring sobs, her sole reply.

Off to battle!...

The truth stood downcast in the lie;
she never thought he'd say goodbye.
It all was there in stark, plain sight;
the things he did were just not right.

His promises made her heart fly...
the truth stood downcast in the lie.
She thought she was the only one;
he swore 'forever'...then...

The truth stood downcast in the lie
   I trusted your words don't know why, 
      Your intensions were hard to find
         I wish I could have read your mind.

You broke...

The truth stood downcast in a lie,
   crestfallen, I wither in dust,
      I have drowned in rivers of dry,
         you have drowned in oceans of lust.

Fading into ashes I burn,

The truth stood downcast in the lie
There was no answer as to why 
The falsehood was the protection 
Honesty could mean rejection 

They did what they could to get by
The truth stood downcast in the lie
Lies would cover up all the fear
If there's risk of...

Dedicated to Danielle Cheng for her insightful feedback.
 
My soul is downcast within me
My eyes are weary from weeping
My heart is faint; Lord, have mercy
Restore my faint heart that's failing
 
My soul is downcast within me
My hands are weary from working
My faith is weak; Lord,...

The truth stood downcast in the lie;
dismayed she left their home at once.
She'd blathered on about someone
who'd fill her life with what she wants.

Distraught he relinquished his rights,
the truth stood downcast in the lie.
Their last ten years, straightway dismissed;
Though he loved her;  divorce loomed...

The truth stood downcast in the lie
We met, and vowed not to stand by
Through solar and wind we’d stop this
But some cared first for their wallets

The truth stood downcast in the lie
so self assured, you played the part
with flattery, your head held high
you ripped apart a trusting heart.

A predator without a name
the truth stood downcast in the lie
you stole her worth, you had no shame
inflicted wounds that would not die.

Feigning...

Through this road of sorrow i walk in pains
Looking up to the gathering cloud of 
Thunderous rain 
Downcast.
I was pushed to the world as an outcast.
My spirit groaned and wailed.
The soil hated my footsteps
Just as the sun hit my eyes as i looked it in...

The truth stood downcast in the lie
All the truths like the sun moon and
The stars stood confused and upset
The beautiful white owl lay killed

A gang of drunk youth in wild dance
The truth stood downcast in the lie
For the sake of pursuing fun
They took full leave...

The truth stood downcast in the lie
My eyes tried to whisper
But my tongue was tied
Because he loved my sister

He asked me to introduce them
The truth stood downcast in the lie
He was my heartbeat and my friend
My heart ached, I was about to die

Their love grew...

Hello friends!
How are you doing?
How is life treating you?
You are great I suppose
You are doing fine I guess
You are on top of your game
I dare say
Is the weather clement?
Is it cloudy?
or is it raining in your hearts?
Are you downcast?
Do you feel like throwing in the...
