Truth and Lies

12 Oct 2020

Lourens
(The irony of life has left nothing to chance. Beyond every mountain more lay in wait. Bad dreams fog up emotion, until clarity only exists in nightmares.)

Forests of doubt tangle our paths
We are stuck in a labyrinth of hearts
Mistranslationed situations
Becoming standard incantations

Choices are traps that exist purely to test
Consequence of failure that knows no rest
Yet life pulls along without slowing down
You exist only as a singular noun

Reality is what we perceive
While fantasy is what our hearts wants to believe
The middleground of this floats phantasmal and false
Our truth and lies are doing a ghostly waltz
