Life is so beautiful
That nothing matters
The numbness you feel
Is beauty folding inside you
Is the lie that holds you awake
The truth that lets you down
Takes your sleep
Guides your day
Your trust in self and others
Gone with the wind
Old fashioned traits
Hold you up
Litter your wind
Lie to your face
Wish for more
It lies too
There is no truth but what is truth
It's not enough
For what lies as truth
In the discord depress
What you confess
Won't hold up in court
For what lies as truth
Your overblown
Floating to the moon where
The man gives you advice
Best not to adhere
You grab a beer
Soup almost ready
Beer nearly gone
It didn't have to go this way
But it did
In its entitlement
Find its moment
Still speaking
Without words
The contradiction of
The truth.
