Trickery

We all sit here and pretend,

trick ourselves into believing a lie,

hoping there is no end,

to this fabulous life.

We all lay here and fantasize,

the things we always hoped for,

while others criticized,

and our hearts they tore.

We all stand here and lose strength,

to chase what we dream,

when the road grows in length,

and all we want to do is scream.

When truth is all we need,

they've only got lies to feed.
