The world was once flat.
People were once Gods.
Myths were once fact.
Earth was once the center of our universe.
People were once owned.
We once believed in innocence.
Continents once did not exist.

Now we **** for convenience,
Hurt for pleasure,
Cry without pain,
Leave behind those who might burden with their grief,
Inflict tragedies without meaning.
We have been wrong before, why is now so different?
Fact has been proven fiction, fiction proven fact.
What makes us think that we can see now, if we were once so blind?
Knowledge is power, but ignorance is just as.
Are we, or are we not? Can we make sense of our world before it is gone?
That is the one question that is neither fact nor fiction,
Which is precisely why it needs an answer never found.

The Exception
time drifts through the slow ticks
of the small rifts of wave less
interest

formless and body less
float

we are life, inspired by endless knowledge

we are life, despite the constant ignorance and innocence

we are life, through everything we strive not to be
because we focus on that so much we can't see
the real goal we wanted to achieve
now we're deceived
they tell you what to believe
and then we feel relieved

to be ignorant

Find me here, where I dwell with no fear
I can hear the shed of your tear

but you can't see, I'm right in front of you
not because I'm invisible, you don't want to

they might say I'm an outcast and I'll die out soon
but this is my world just over the dune
the weather is always like June
here, on the other side of the moon
I walk the world with thoughts of you
In every place I go
Your voice is on the winter wind
Your footprints in the snow
And every tool I try to use to scrape you from my mind
Cuts your name onto my tongue
And beats me till I'm blind
I layed my head upon your knees and breathed the air you breathed
I cut myself when you were cut to know just how you bleed
Now as I walk this empty earth with nothing but a face
To breathe me and to bleed me
Until I leave this place

— The End —
