Death Dealer (acceptance)

acceptance

Go to bed, and find your death-
You who are scared of the harbinger of sorrow.
Find your worth they say, as I am faltering-

Falling and sinking lower than your deepest miseries. 

Entombed in my soul, is a world of lies, 
And only a speck of truth, 
But that beacon shines bright, 
Brighter than all your false hopes and deceitful lies.

But who can dig it out and find buried,

This supposed lost treasure? 
And Who can qualm the hunger of the ocean for its lost earth?

These are the questions that have plagued my mind,

While fiction is forever repeated in my ears,
And on the tip of your tongue spouts every answer and every lie.
The greatest of which is proven to be this life,

This world of promises that once mesmerized my eyes, 
But still do theirs. 
And so I will obey, follow suit and find my death.

~ oh... i have lost count of the sheer number of lies that i was fed... about love, about life, about work, about poetry, about prose, about politics... etc. etc. ...
~ so, i relate to this piece very, very intensely... ~ i think you can make your truth triumph over all else... if you wish to see it win... ~ maybe, in metaphorical terms, you might need to do away with your earlier identity which succumbed to lies... and then find yourself and resurrect... ~ p.s. sorry if i'm reading this post incorrectly... but please know that it's beautifully written... the second stanza is my favourite one...

i'm glad that you can relate to this and your interpretation is very close to how i felt when writing this... And i do believe that i have done away with the "old" me that would fall for those lies. thanks for the advice though, it's always a good reminder.

In this world there are many who tell lies and this leaves us bitter and left with the effects of such. Dejected and lost. We all get tired and fed up with it all. I hope I got the meaning of your poem because I liked it very much. If I did then my answer to this is my poem "Truth Undaunted"

For the most part that is the essence of what the poems is about, i really look forward to reading your piece. also again thank you for your review.
