Beautiful Lie, Beautiful Life
Should I be shocked?
Should I mourn the loss?
When it never offered any gain.
Living this beautiful lie
took its toll. Cold soul feels numb.
Was I blindsided? Not really.
Guess I knew all along the endgame
would be an elaborate trick.
Why in hell wouldn't it be?
Life has never been correct or lenient.
Nor has it ever ventured on the right side of wrong.
My life is a toleration I have come to accept.
I’m caught between the lie and the truth.
Neither one serves up an escape. Both
have left me ravaged and trapped
inside the mire without hope of rescue.
The façade of the lie looks glorious
when staring at it all from inside out.
Truth is, the discovery of my ugly existence
has left me painfully aware of
the beautiful lie of the beautiful life I live.
