Searching For Norms
Hearts bear the consequences of lies,
an affliction intrinsic to Man.
And when reality unravels,
we are left to cope the best we can.
This feeling is all too familiar;
you're cornered, with nowhere to retreat.
And when life's non-receptive to dreams,
you get trolled by failure and defeat.
Pressured to find a pathway to love;
hope persuades your heart to take a chance.
But when lies overshadow the truth,
dreams collapse as if pierced by a lance.
Fighting off melancholy feelings,
you're mired in self-doubt, searching for norms.
Your fate, in desperation's grip,
teardrops fuel emotional storms.
A wave of confusing emotions
floods, floundering hearts drowning in tears.
And tides of regret rise as you sleep,
stirring up nightmares, dredging up fears.
With love's expectations abandoned,
time trades promises for safer things.
And you hunker down behind your walls,
wishing you could flee on magic wings.
