I'm An Illusion


I'm an illusion

I'm not here

You think you see me

Only when I let you

When I reveal my secrets that don't hurt to release

Not half as bad as the ones that stab at my insides and I am sworn to secrecy

 

My mind resides under a guarded bridge

Not guarded by me but by my inhabitants

They don't want me known

They won't let me go

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars But in ourselves, that we are underlings.
