Soulful Lies
Hiding my eyes, striving to see.
Hope they don't look at me.
This narrow life I lead,
Strange scenes in my head,
The need to camoflage.
What one does because it's right.
I'm a coward who refuses to fight.
One who hides from within,
Never to escape this life of sin.
How can I say it's okay,
When I live another way.
Those who do, I admire.
I will continue walking the wire.
It's strange how one can deny,
What is bent in their life.
I don't want to lie.
How I yearn to drive,
To top, the world.
They said I would be good.
The wild and crazy experiment,
I never could.
Fear held me back,
The small town way.
What would they think.
What would they say.
If I had.
My sprouts, times three,
I could never, tilt the world.
They will not know the bend in me.
So I wait.
Wait for the happy ever after to end.
