blinded

it's not all just salt that looks like sugar

sometimes it's poison that looks like water

or snakes that look like women

you have to consider that some of us want to be fooled

with blade in fist and

the red that pools in self-conflicted injuries

convincing ourselves that we can be the

injured and the recovered all at once

appearances can be decieving but

maybe we're the deceitful ones

so good at lying that

we can mislead even ourselves
