Living In The Dark

 

Most often words most flowery

The ones drenched in perfume

Hide the sharpest points

That we don’t want to share

But why do we care

To hide the true 

Yet complain 

Of living in the dark. 

Someone can speak a thousand words

Without saying anything

And they could age for many years

Without ever living

We hide our true selves

Behind our best selves

Knowing it’s a lie

Here my words are just purity 

So why do we resume 

This endless damn dance 

That we don’t want to bare

But why do we care

To hide the true 

Yet complain 

Of living in the dark. 

We are blind but claim that we see

As our words can give us eyes 

How much can you see with my words 

If you don’t find them true

Words can kill me right now

Or can free me somehow 

Knowing I can try 

Why do words carry such duty 

Why we do what we do

Lies to protect 

Feelings we ignore 

But why do we care

To hide the true 

Yet complain 

Of living in the dark.
