It's a dance of shadows in the flickering light,  
Where truth bends softly, hiding out of sight.  
Each step I take, the ground beneath me shifts,  
Reality is woven in perception's drifts.  

I see the world through a fractured glass,  
Every shard reflecting a different past.  
What’s clear to you is hazy to me,  
We’re both locked in, yet each holds the key.  

Through my eyes, the sky might not be blue,  
But a swirling mix of a different hue.  
You see the dawn, I feel the night,  
Both are real, yet neither's right.  

In this labyrinth where echoes deceive,  
What’s false is true if I believe.  
But in the silence, where all thoughts collide,  
There lies a truth we cannot hide.  

So here I stand, on this narrow ledge,  
Between what is and what I pledge.  
It’s high nigh oh my, this point of view,  
Knowing it’s only my perspective—what a virtue!
Unending chirps, unnoticed cyanide
Black heart's dense, glitters done hide
Puppets followed, inside's purged
Do, done, did, the puppeteer urged

No one noticed the room was painted white
Traces of blood trailed, blinkers worn tight
Equestrian walloped, headed to the light
Ran'n circles, stomach churning feces ****

Capillaries' abnormally dilated, pupils constricted
Rabid looking butterflies like a life wasted
Analogous to a hurriedly headless plight up the stairs
Oro, Plata, Mata! Exactly as ye'were told!

Silence Dogood's publishing's projected worst remorse
Lies not in heavily salvaging a badly rotten core
It's duly accepting and assuming everyone's expendable
Abate in value requires throwing utmost valuables

Create a false fancy essential need then make it scarce
Very baffling to behold an openly transparent farce
Discombobulated-ly simulating the sharp sworded seat
Fictional seat, fantasy world, deluded place-deceit

Looked like a Shakespearean play badly rehearsed
Many a dead soldiers, each a piece not one is bad
Might have to follow Japanese wisdom just like 'twas told
It was always the glorious generals who needs to fold

Monarchs' nightmare stripped of status, influence, and gold
Badly sculpted, looked akin to a gelatin hardened without mold
At that state, stare... Be tranced... Indulge... have a good long look
For if it's null, everyone can deduce what kind of path they took
The path is cold and lonely
Everyday is a crimson rain
What more can tempering give
But torment and constant pain

No one forced it yet you chased
Being the pinnacle is peace of mind
Neither did you knew, once started
It will be your only way of life

Blood, pain, helplessness, despair
Not everyone simply dares
For when once you discard life
Only then will you survive
Plz
Blues tells what is meant
Lies tell what's not meant
Pleas ignores the facts
Broken; there goes the pacts

Follow what's been dealt
Then keep thy stronger pelt
Or destroy what has been made
And build thy honor that will never fade
It began doubtfully as a gentle kiss
But the flower thought of her first kiss
Been trying to clean the stained past
Loving a losing battle using a mask

All I wish is just an approving glance
For me to even start a fighting stance
Yet the flower excretes peromones
Then four bees landed as she moans

It was the flower's fortè shown at last
Yet it got stuck in my stupid heart
Even now that I knew, I am not ******
Yes, my touch is not what she misses.
Age
When the sprint you trusted
Became a stranger
Then the courage you had
Was there no longer
And you realized
You are a youth no more
Yet you still carry your
Fighting spirit from before
Man up and accept defeat
Then improve and again...
Compete!
A bow once bent
Releases unrelenting force
An arrow once went
Gains unending remorse

A poison once touched
Gives infinite agony
A missile once launched
Never pities humanity
