Content With the Lie

If you had asked

I would have been honest.

But you always seem to look away

When things get real.

Are you more comfortable

With the mask?

Does authenticity scare you?

Are you running from me?

Or are you running from yourself?

Don’t you want to leave the bullshit behind?

Don’t you want to transcend the lies?

Or are you content pretending the illusion is real?
