FACADE

Fickle desire to be better than me never leaves
A strong feeling that I could be better than me never fades
A longing for a dream unreachable
But I never stopped being someone's dream at least living it
Sometimes my own night mare of stagnation

Dressed for the play of success
Plain act of success
Yet far from it
I feel perfect in these costumes
I dont intend to get rid of them
The splendid illusory backdrop of grandeur  
Hiding and covering the fear of being an imposter
Yeah
A lie

I will not get rid of this act
I want to ovhestrate an eulogy 
A fiction of sorts
Maybe an allegory of my life

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more

KINDRED

I wish I had a friend Whose loyalty would never bend Walk with me miles on end Be plain and never pretend A cynic who would blend But to me be a kindred A spirit that knows me Keep me and my secrets just as I would  To the very end
