I’m living a lie… <br />Trying so hard to survive. <br />Talking the talk of fantasy. <br />To become what I’m not… <br /> <br />Walking through the motions. <br />Of wasted time… <br />Only to realize should I care? <br />Is it worth it? <br /> <br />Look at the mask I wear… <br />Two tone the color of false emotion. <br />Can you pick out who is the real me? <br />Peer into my eyes, what do you see? <br /> <br />Belief I once had… <br />Love I once held… <br />Righteousness, lost in the shuffle. <br />Warmth and tenderness now all but a dream. <br /> <br />Sleep I wish I had… <br />Maybe then I would dream. <br />Of what is now and not what was before…. <br />Not to hear those voices in my head. <br /> <br />To be able wake in the morning. <br />To open my eyes, to peer in disbelief… <br />Into the cracked mirror. <br />To see the two faces of me…<br /><br />Kevin Carney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-living-a-lie/
