World Of Illusions

by Brittney Follett   Sep 3, 2007


In a World of Illusions,
Who can tell what is real,
If all are wearing masks.
Not telling how they feel.

``Our World``

He smiles and says I'm broken.
She cries and says I'm fine.
Confusion surrounding us all,
But when will it cross the line?

``Of Illusions and Reality``

We hide behind our disguises.
They take cover behind their lies.
Torn between fantasy and actuality.
This will all end in our demise.

Sadly no one will sacrifice,
The chance of others "knowing"
So we all hide from the Truth..
We hide from our very selves.

``In A World Of Illusions``

Did it for a contest but I had to choose between this and Creator's Game. I chose Creator's Game but it was a hard decision.

Hope you enjoyed it

    Hmmm....
    your poem seemed to be rather interesting though no one got time to think that in today's life when we are so busy
    its good you thought over this subject

    i dint like that line
    It shall all end up in our demise

    Means thats what life is and you hsould be ahaving a rather accepting attitude in life
    i know that people pretende a lot but still I think true people exist in that world which is quite a personal opinion of mines

    rest I enjoyed this line very much
    He smiles and says I'm broken.
    She cries and says I'm fine.
    Confusion surrounding us all,
    But when will it cross the line?

    Wow, very deep and true. Whole poem is excellently written, you used great words and wrote it truly amazingly!
    My favorite stanza is:

    -He smiles and says I'm broken.
    She cries and says I'm fine.
    Confusion surrounding us all,
    But when will it cross the line?-

    You should be proud on this piece :)
    5/5 from me
