An Imagined Reality
I am an exception to the rule
Not to be confused with a fool
See self-denial is the ultimate tool
When error & trial become graduate school.
My expertise is in a backwards attempt
To overcome the odds & 2 laws be exempt.
Disaster becomes me & I lose myself
Into believing u r somebody else.
I love you until I take my last breath
I love you in life & again in death
I love one who I’ve never met, but thought I knew.
Love can’t right what has always been wrong
Love is not enough once that love is gone.
I love one who I can’t respect & I can’t respect you.
Thus, I will love you faraway from yourself,
Because loving you means
Disrespecting myself.

The Truth About Lying
A lie and the truth are one in the same, both are necessary allow me to explain.
Some say the truth will set you free, but that “some” is no part of me.
My truth in your eyes is blasphemy, the truth being that I even lie to me.
Mistakes are errors left uncorrected, also known as opportunities neglected.
The truth is always the first expected. A lie is born from the truth rejected.
Truth is a word so infected by the mouths of those who so diligently protect it.
The very people who refuse to accept it.
My truth is mine and it changes all of the time, thus I protect it by lying.
Not to myself but to everyone else and never with any bad intentions
Never out of disparity for attention, only to avoid a preconceived misconception
