The process by which I will process the process,
Is a mind-fuck worthy of praise,
Picking it up and then laying it down,
This connection uncanny some days
To make sense of the madness is the errand of fools,
Just a means to an ignorant end
Instead I will sample the fruits of delusion,
Every rule will eventually bend
Look to the left of my reason and discover at last,
That it's right to have buried the past
Look up to the heavens as long as I must,
Down the hatch, as they say, with the trust
Each one of these pills are jagged and sharp,
Lacerations are left in their wake
Temporary discomfort and swelling of course,
But I will look better when everything's fake
A nip over here and a tuck over there,
Where exactly did you get your degree?
I think there's supposed be anesthetic involved
Before leaving your mark on me
Removing the bandage with no guarantees,
That I even will like what I see
Just because it looks great on somebody else,
Doesn't mean it will compliment me
How do you do the voodoo that you do,
I didn't ask you to alter my vision
But I see those initials are carved deep within,
The result of a simple incision
Frankenstein would have admired your work,
The way you brought what was dead back to life
Using tools of an odd and unusual nature,
To dislodge all the hatred and strife
Pretty pictures and words with a kick in the ass,
An illusory portrait of course
The one tie that binds is the one I can't find,
Have you seen it? It's name is Remorse
I can now make donations to a charitable cause,
All these things I no longer desire
Or maybe it's better to strike up a match,
And cast them all into the fire
After all, no one wants used and battered beliefs,
Not exactly a great gift to give
Here, have some pity and a box of regret,
They will last you as long as you live!
"What's the point of all this?" You may ask as you read,
"None of your business" would be my reply
Mind your own business and stop reading my journal,
LOL I'm just kidding. Goodbye!
Define the point where fantasy,
And reality intersect
Does one destroy the other,
Or are we just more circumspect?
Can we feign our ignorance in light of truth?
Plead that darkness would return?
Put the blinders back in place,
Would that alleviate concern?
Assaulted by knowledge we did not seek,
Events we dared not contemplate
Forced to choose which way to turn,
On a journey we can't negate
Do we choose to drink the bitter truth,
Or swallow well-cooked lies?
Can others see right through us,
When we wear this thin disguise?
Wearing a mask that resembles joy,
The part we play's divine
But alone, behind those painted eyes,
We're anything but fine
Adrift upon this sea of doubt,
Amidst the waves of fear
We make our way with hope and love,
Until our destination's clear

Do we choose to drink the bitter truth...
i would choose the bitter truth because to be free of the light is to live a better life in control of your own mind...the truth will set you free

I love when you write. You're words are so vivid they twirl into a picture in my mind. ♥
You know, I love your writing. Just never write about how endearing a used car can be. I think I would die. ;)
In all seriousness though, you do write very well and it's an enjoyment to read. :)
