Wandering Truth

Lies often wander through truth

to find their way to the heart of deception.

Knowing what misleading words can bring

never seems to lessen the minds fooling pride

to face rejection.

Does infidelity derive, deviating from youthfully contrived

structure in forming patterns on minds.

In a path reciting normalcy.

Why must it always come down to this?

All or nothing, Life or death.

Is there an in between, to be seen without feelings bent?

Try and read between the lines.

Don't be satisfied with goodbye.

Is that what was said, or was it just implied?

How did you manage to invent yourself?

Never straying from the chosen form.

Disdaining extrication from life.

Relief from which cannot be obtained.

Except in the timely exile of dream.

Listen to the sound of “always and forever.”

Come down to live and let live.

I'm not you or desire to be.

What works in your world might not for me.

Hold on to your beliefs if they make you well.

Giving too much leaves nothing at all.
