Each day he sustains, a lie to remain;
In love with his bitter delusion.

He dwells in a prison;
Where walks indecision;
Whose gates have never been locked.

Except by his lies;
The fear of good byes
And the echoes of happiness mocked.

True words of wisdom. I have seen the same exact scenario myself. Out of the fear of loneliness people allow themselves to be abused.
It/'/s not worth it. Another brilliant write as your usual.

we write on this board only to read
as lucky as we might feel some nights
a dream might come in ones sleep
that shows one the way not to act by showing
how they truly do feel, without seeing
how others do, And why

softerware this is campfire high up in the mountains in starry night magic to digest.

Thank you!
Peace!

Absolute perfection....to elaborate beyond those two words is a waste of time.

Spot on. The rawness of so many lives laid bare. Could easily be read for either gender. We are born story tellers and lovers of tales, but sometimes we cling to the wrong narrative.

WOW!! I have to agree with everyone else here. Truer words have not been spoken. I think everyone has been here one time or another in their llife and it is something that am faced with every day and have been for years. Another great write my friend.

i really enjoyed this!!! i am wondering why u changed the structure of the poem at the end, though, because the rhythm is still the same. regardless a good write with some really clever lines like:

"He dwells in a prison;
Where walks indecision;
Whose gates have never been locked."

Loved it.
