Are we all lost?
Are we all living under a clever ruse-
A mask we’ve adopted as our own-
To protect us from the truth?
The truth is pain
For every single one of us;
Pain that manifests in different ways:
Illness, aches, emotions, mental issues.
The truth is bliss
For every single one of us;
Bliss that manifests in different ways:
Laughter, love, victories, belly laughs.
One seems to lead to the other…
Intricately connected
And intertwined;
A lovers’ embrace
In the middle of a storm.
Chaos in beauty.
Beauty in chaos.
None of which we can
see
hear
smell
taste
feel
Until we realize
We are not lost.
We are simply blind,
Clinging to the mask
Which blinds us
Thinking it keeps us safe.
