Unwise, lies, demise

One lie turns to two, and suddenly our entire world is a lie.

I was just unwise

Living through, all of these lies

 

Like a hawk in the ocean, torn from the skies

Or a shark on land, ripped from ocean blue

Formidable no longer,

Forever knocked askew.

 

This

my failed disguise.

Ultimately

my own demise.

Author's Note
