Array ( [sid] => 15018 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Illusions [time] => 2003-03-27 15:25:00 [hometext] => This originally started out as freehand writting, but ended up as a pretty dark (though I believe, true) poem. [bodytext] => Love with every moment of your heart.
Till death shall steal it away…
Don’t listen to anything people tell you
Just allow yourself to sway
Sway in the wind
Float in the darkness
Propel yourself by the knowledge of freedom
It’s all an illusion
But hey? Who cares?
As long as you’re happy
In your little bubble of seclusion
Pretend that you’re thrilled
Pretend the world loves you
It’s all a lie
Eventually, yes, you will die
Probably alone
In your little corner
No one will care
I can see it in your eyes
You don’t believe me
You think you can see
The truth
You want to know the truth?
Happiness is an illusion
You convince yourself you are happy as hell
And hell is where you really are
You will never rise or go far
***** happens
It will never stop
Ever
You are stuck in this facsimile of life
Forever caught in hate and strife
Never stopping
Ever hoping
For happiness
Make others happy
Give them what you do not have

Illusions

Love with every moment of your heart.
Till death shall steal it away…
Don’t listen to anything people tell you
Just allow yourself to sway
Sway in the wind
Float in the darkness
Propel yourself by the knowledge of freedom
It’s all an illusion
But hey? Who cares?
As long as you’re happy
In your little bubble of seclusion
Pretend that you’re thrilled
Pretend the world loves you
It’s all a lie
Eventually, yes, you will die
Probably alone
In your little corner
No one will care
I can see it in your eyes
You don’t believe me
You think you can see
The truth
You want to know the truth?
Happiness is an illusion
You convince yourself you are happy as hell
And hell is where you really are
You will never rise or go far
***** happens
It will never stop
Ever
You are stuck in this facsimile of life
Forever caught in hate and strife
Never stopping
Ever hoping
For happiness
Make others happy
Give them what you do not have
Life
