A World of Lies

Ignorance is bliss…

We’re living in a world of lies where the hate just multiplies when the sun begins to rise.

So we’re forced to improvise and disguise every feeling and every time you start to cry.

So you pray to god and you get no reply.

So then you start to wonder if you should even be alive,

Then you start to wonder if you’re just a waste of time.

So then you call your friend and try to get advice.

Then they sympathize and tell you you’ll be fine —

Deep inside your mind, you really know they’re lying.

You still say thank you cuz you’re grateful that they’re trying,

What else can they say when you’re on your knees crying.

You thought you were alone but now you see that they’re frightened.

Then you leave and take their guidance

And you feel the pain subsiding,

You’re still pretty far from thriving but now you don’t feel like dying.

So then you get a piece of paper and you start to write about it,

Then you get to rhyming and vibing and maybe even smile about it.
