They say that they wish they were as
D
E
E
P
But knowledge is a heavy
Burden that I sometimes
Wish I did not keep…
I dream of peace, of calm
Thoughtless thoughts…..
Of sweet contradictions
That do not hurt me so…
A mere contradiction
Itself hurts more than
Just the weight of
The words…
It hurts the mind with
The blatant lie…
It hurts the heart with
The hard edges…
It hurts the soul with
Its nettled truth…
Contradictions are
Their own truth
And the truth hurts
Because common truth
Is a lie…
So am I deep or am i
Just floating on
The top of
A sea
Of
Lies we claim
As truths?
