The Great Pretender

I know a man

Who’s empty inside

He searches everywhere

To fill up his pride

I know a man

Who likes to pretend

A real life chameleon

Claiming everyone a friend

When no one’s looking

He’ll stab you in the back

Or the heart...

Some kind of attack

He’s the predator

You’ll never know

Until it’s too late

You’re part of his show

I know a man

Who’s so broken

You’ll blindly let your love

Be worn as the ultimate token

Hypocrisy will cease to exist when we first learn to correct the flaws in ourselves before pointing out and/or trying to fix the flaws in others.

However, we can also agree to welcome the person with the very same flaw to join us on a journey to figure out how to fix it in each other...together. We are never above them but equal.

A Breaking Heart’s Cry

I am not ready

To let you go

I am not ready

To let you know

That inside I hurt

From holding on

To the memories

Oh so very fond!

It was you and I

We fell so hard

Where have they gone,

When we endlessly spar?

I am not ready

To feel the emptiness

I am not ready

To feel the pettiness

Of this fragment of

A love screaming out

It isn't happening

My heart wants to shout

It was you and I

We said forever

I am not ready

To say "Never..."

Challenge

Challenge of the Week CVII

Happiness. The ever-elusive state in which we all strive to linger. Write about the pursuit or experience of happiness. Perhaps it's an illusion. Perhaps it's a character who finds happiness in an unlikely place. Perhaps it'll be the simplest thing you'll ever write, or perhaps the most difficult. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

To Be At Peace

Looking in the distance

Stood a chance

For my eyes to jump for joy

Listening to those words

Sang a tune

For my heart to be pleased

Breathing scents so provoking

Waved a memory

For my mind to yearn

Tasting beauty in mulitudes

Salivated a desire

For my body to be touched

Feeling abstract emotions

Beheld a hope

For my soul to be satisfied

Fleeting moments...

Just a distant reflection

Of where I want to be

Happiness...

Can't be captured

For our very own

Peace...

Life's answer--

Solution to temporary (dis)satisfaction

Challenge

Challenge of the Week XCIV

Lies and Liars. Perhaps it's a time when two accounts conflicted. Perhaps it's a lie you've told yourself since before you can remember. Write on the themes of lies and liars. Fiction or nonfiction, poetry or Prose.

One lie leads to the next

Truth remains hidden

Behind suspicion

Intuition tries to lead

Liars ready to betray

Fibs become a plead

Ones who feel betrayal

Accused of not having trust

Turns discernment to dust

Honesty never found

Trust out of reach

Love has no sound
