Faithful Deceit

Faithful Deceit

by: Conz6th

My world has stopped

and it's freezin' cold

My haven of sweet mornings

turned to desolated empty spaces

I fly but still I fall

I breathe just to suffocate

I live but I was deceived

°

Maybe I was overly assuming

that the world intertwines with me

I reckoned it would cry along

For it used to laugh with me

Maybe it was wrong from the start

To expect a clown to frown

Or to wait on a desert for rain to pour down

º

Many are destined to fall

but not all are fated to be caught

Some are bequeathed with beauty

but must undergo a lot of pain

Some aren't gifted with glamour

but still had nothing to begin

Life is unfair, it has always been.

°

I had to fall to recognize pain

I had to bleed just for me to be certain

that life isn't always about it's glamorous façade

and it is behind those beaming masks

where the look of grief and bitterness

are hidden to conceal the past

°

People learn but still get dumb

We long for something we always have

Many of us fight but still we struggle

For this never ending quest and battle

between pretense and validity, lie and proximity

°

Which is which? We often ask

But in this hazy world that we live in

No wonder why no one is presumed to be certain
