A Poem by Is It Reality, Or Is It A Game?

Simple words

so absurd

how can they cause such confusion?

Feelings true

falsified you

hearts connected through lies and delusion

Paint a picture

tell a tale

show me your true colors

Expose and hide

win and fail

all I see is black

Mirage/facade

toy with me

until I cut those strings

Feel the heat

from the angry puppet that has been cut loose

Is it real?

what you feel?

how can you know for sure?

make a decision?

make a choice?

ignore, or hear

my voice?

did they know?

do they now?

what will they think of you?

awake, my Prince

your slumber is through

all in all,

I do love you

don't tell me how to show it

don't tell me how to know it

don't tell me how to feel it

don't tell me how to see it

don't tell me how to be it

no need to love me anymore

I weighed my options

the risk was worth it

feel the intensity of the lights

what are they thinking of you?

secrets exposed

are you blinded? or do you now see?

is this real?

am I lying?

do I speak truth to you?

is it painful

to think

my amusement today

means more to me than

your heart?

I felt that this was a pretty good conveyance of the uncertainty of human interaction. Communication through speech is faulty enough, given its room for errors, but with the added element of truth, almost nothing heard can be believed as it is. One is left in a constant state of wonder as to others' intentions, and this poem captured that wonder.
