Deception
You can see me within
All too easily
Like peeking through a window.
I hope there’s a glare,
much less a reflection
Unnoticed, hidden, behind these gold curtains
No light shows through.
I feel open to the public.
Baring my sword, ready to fight
But, sadly, this does not protect me.
One look at my face,
And you think you’re winning this
It’s all your game
My defense is just a misconception.
If I bared my soul
You wouldn’t understand
So why even attempt to look?
The battle is a fraud
Accumulating with the lack of essence in the room
No one wants to be themselves
Because everyone has retreated.
Now, don’t be coy
It’s disrespectful.
Memories fade
But we never forget
Everyone has an impact
Even those in the ground
But do we care?
Do we notice?
We’re too focused on ourselves to even reflect
People want to be the change
But then again
Actions are far more grateful, than words themselves.
The light goes out
The souls all the same
Individuality is dead
So where’s the game?
