Decieved

This illusion of power

you have over me

is truly convincing

how does it feel to see

that you've fooled yourself

and not just me,

a knowledge corrupt

with a balance that's tipped

as your own undoing

champion to none but yourself

through the answers beneath.



Stare at the surface

in seeking me

of this you fear

risk your realities

of which your decieved,

try to keep this faith

to keep silent is something

of which you don't dare

a life is changed

through the paths you did take.

i kinda like it but its hard to read

partly coz i am sad and had a fight two seconds ago and partly coz you change flow and rhyme too much

but all in all
it just needs a little work

and i love it coz it is so right now for me
