Who should I believe in this world full of liars?
My need for someone to trust completely now is dire.
You may say one thing, yet he means another.
Which one is true? Or are you two plotting together?

Do you two together have a master plan laid?
All I need now is for one or the other to come to my aid.
Neither of you know that inside I'm nearly dead,
or that the two of you are the source of all my dread.

Seven billion strong
and each one of us
alone in our thoughts.

We learned the other day that sometimes
when you try to push against a force
that's too strong to move, your body fights
but regardless of how hard it fights
you have a threshold that you cannot breach
and after some time it simply becomes you
pushing against this immovable force and
you realize that this stagnant entity in your life
has absolutely no intention of letting you win
this one sided battle you unknowingly enrolled in
and it strikes you one day that while the only thing left to do
would be to give up: you won't.

Not because you don't want to
but rather because you can't.
