Who Knows
How do you ever find truth in a mirage of lies?
Can you?
Is it possible?
Trust is--
Something I’ve long forgotten
But you say you can instill it in me once again?
Rather a conceited notion isn’t it?
How do you gain back something
Which has truly been lost?
Can something be truly lost?
How can you be lost if you never knew where you were going in the first place?
Or what you had if you never knew its value?
Rather ironic isn’t it?
If we are to learn from our past
But never knew who we were before
How do we move forward?
Do we learn?
Or have we already learned
In a mirage of lies
They are truths
You’ve been told.
How do you know what to believe?
How do you know?
How do you know?
I don’t know.
Or do I?
Did I forget?
But can I forget something that might not have been there in the first place?
Do you know?
Are we lost?
Are we misguided?
Or simply choosing to be oblivious?
How do we know?
Who is to say?
Can you tell me?
Can you tell me?
TELL ME!!
I hear them.
Constantly pestering.
Pssssstttttt
Pssssstttttttttttttttttttt
I can’t focus
It’s a constant buzzing
A simple beep in the other
I don’t know
Its an interesting notion
