A blind assumption

The reality you feel

Is the illusion your insecurities have fed you.

The observations made become your assumptions

That destroy the beauty of the unknown.

The words you choke on

Distort truth to lies.

 

Then your silence feeds your fears

Until your heart begins to fill with doubt.

The possibilities dissipitate

Sabotaged any friendship, any hope, any adventure, any future.

Convinced by the anxiety that warps your mind,

You close yourself.

 

There's no way back through the twisted silence and physical separation.

 

Ruined.
