The Illusion of a Happy Ending
The truth is,in a dog -eat-dog world,
Fools find themselves the prey.
My past self, the one that saw the good.
Was burned to ash.
That innocent child , before all the hormones came into the picture,
Believed in the whole concept that goodness exists.
Now, I see that a happy ending is nothing more than a hallucination.
Only pleasant in the fleeting moments of instability.
I’ve watched the game of life,
Shattered into pieces of uncertainty, and mixed with self doubt.
Only then can I recreate a reflection of myself.
This new self, won’t tear apart.
It won’t break again.
It will no longer be called a fool,
For wanting good from everyone.
Like a past song, I was forgotten
And burned to ash.
Now, a different reflection looks back.
