Illusions in Paradise


Blind she stumbles through the façade

Everything perfect, now always flawed.

With open eyes, the illusion presents,

With lies and cheats it only makes sense.

 

A lonely heart among society,

The dark numbness of anxiety.

It controls her thoughts

And a pseudo-life society allots,

Her doomed pitiful soul laments,

And a life of happiness often she rents.
