Untitled

Pain that suppresses the soul

is a pain that brings forth reality.

Where can we go when all we want and know

is dangling you over a pit a vipers.

Venom seeps through the veins

of hate as we ingratiate our will

into that of another

a brother

or a lover

the world is as I see it.

For it can be no other way.

To alter that vision is to be you

then individuality is non-existent

We may not agree on everything

and trust may be cracked

But facts are facts.

The less you know

the more you believe.

And receive these words

from a soul lost in a world

Where people are flawed

and perfection doesn't exist.

I accept you encompasses all

When you think I lie

I die inside

But the past can't be changed

I'll be alright as you so gracefully said

and stoicism is eaten on bread

The life ...

 

 

....
