Lies....
I won’t pretend
As if I were a toddler
That I am a princess
Living in an ideal world
Where fight, hate, war
Death
Do not exist
In any language
There is no need
In naming
What isn’t real
I’m not stupid
Not when it comes
To this
Nor am I blind
I can see what is right before me
Hidden
I can hear, and can ignore
Like a child
His parent’s commands
What you say does not affect me
My mind
is made
up
Taking
for granted
And
never
questioning
The
oddest
of facts
Are
we
really
that
stupid?
As a cover-up
Bite
your lip
The
faults in humanity
We
feel
obliged
We
feel
self-
conscious
We are
Human
So we
Love to
Control
What
We can
And fill
Minds
With what
They’ll
Believe
