Desperate Efforts


 

     Normality: a fleeting illusion. The ones we befriend, on whom our sanity depends, hide behind a joyful facade.

     The lies we express link lonesome souls to each other: guise becomes salvation. Deceit dismantles the destructive ties of internal despondency.

Do such blissful lies do us wrong?

Our internal deception has no end.
