gauzy thin transparent thoughts
culminating when caught
in the web of a dream
echo loudly in the light of day
I am beckoned by them now
and led astray
down a path of hearts desire
where words weep tears
that burn like fire
reminded of what and who I am
though I try to deny
they draw me in
Pretending to all
and myself to be
something I am not
denying misery
Go dire dreams leave me to be
acting this play
of duplicity
A smile my disguise
I want none to see
the blackness inside
I need to be free
from all this sorrow
and all the pains
in the day life of lies
some joy remains
