Perspective

Some people
Living their everyday life
Grieve the past when they sleep
Of how things were
And when did they change so secretly?


Some when they live
Think of the days ahead
And grieve the future
Of expectations and person to be


But the saddest of them all
Are the ones who grieve for a dream
Of  an impossible possibility..


With no past or future
It becomes their story to weave
Affecting every motivation
The story grips their reality


We all live in illusions
Finding comfort in self pity
I bet you are happier than me
Or would you rather bet your smile on that with me?

We all live in illusions
A house of mirrors in a litany of echoes
We all live in illusions
But who am I to step out of its throes?
We all live in illusions,
Choosing fragments from guarded dreams
And we all live in solutions
With ears shut to ebbing screams
