Was I numb then Or is that what it felt like To be alive Is this daily routine What my life is all about Or was that instant The true reveal Was it a moment in time A glimpse of an ideal Or was it the truth I've been seeking All along I expected pain and sadness But I got peace I spoke my truth And it hurt everyone but myself For no relevant reason The man with the beautiful eyes whispered It's an illusion As we ate our cashews side by side I wonder about that exchange About illusion A false sense of reality A misunderstanding A lie How do I know What truth is If I can't trust myself Was it a moment in time A glimpse of an ideal Or was it the truth I was seeking I wrestle with those ice blue eyes That spoke without hesitation I have to wonder Which illusion I will ultimately choose to believe

This Illusion
Was I numb then Or is that what it felt like To be alive Is this daily routine What my life is all about Or was that instant The true reveal Was it a moment in time A glimpse of an ideal Or was it the truth I've been seeking All along I expected pain and sadness But I got peace I spoke my truth And it hurt everyone but myself For no relevant reason The man with the beautiful eyes whispered It's an illusion As we ate our cashews side by side I wonder about that exchange About illusion A false sense of reality A misunderstanding A lie How do I know What truth is If I can't trust myself Was it a moment in time A glimpse of an ideal Or was it the truth I was seeking I wrestle with those ice blue eyes That spoke without hesitation I have to wonder Which illusion I will ultimately choose to believe
