How do you deal when you find out
everything in your world Turned out to be a carefully, artfully orchestrated lie
how does one deal
how does one cope with that
how do you cope when the ones
you touch tender
eyes mirror only fear and despise
The name that touches my heart
must never fall from my lips
lest homes fracture and dreams rupture
everything I touch is cursed
My lies are not my own
my truth lies heavy on me
like scarred tissue I am forced to bear
I watch the people around me
with the fervor of a child and a candy store window
reaching hard for dream that isn't mines
Destined forever to be me
A curse or a blessing
Only the moment can decide
