In this world, born of deceit
my struggles take faces
in a growing population

The seeds of sorrow
that were nursed by guilt
have been left untended
and are now overgrown

Regret lingers heavily
amidst the damp foggy air
because of a history
comprised of mistakes

Dreams are carried away
on a brisk, screaming wind
Memories of joy and laughter
become a worthless commodity

The love and trust
and friends I've found
were simply a part
of the grand masquerade

The fallacies of my life
have been forced from the shadows
Of this world I've come to know

I relate well to the "fallaces of life" you speak of. Great poem.

Thank you medusa. I take that as quite a compliment after reading some of your incredible pieces.

Micheal-thank you- It always comforting to know that we are not alone in our feelings. There is always someone who can relate and understand.

I too, see some realities of myself in this piece. Quite picturesque actually. What we need is the wisdom to see the fallacies before they become to real or painful.

Mo-once again we have something in common. I was crying when i thought of this one.

It is a harsh truth that has changed me forever. I am so very flattered that I have touched you so.
Isis-it sure would be nice to see them before they come but most of the time I would suppose we don't. These are what we learn and grow from. And hopefully become a stronger wiser person. Thank you for your comment.

danni, don't know how I missed this one. Your words are so alive and vivid. "Dreams are carried away on a brisk, screaming wind"
That is an awesome description. Another one that got me!
