Candy Coated Lies

I've been fed candy-coated lies. The taste of sweet and sour mixing to a poisonous flavor. I fall into a deep coma of thoughts, only to awaken in an never ending nightmare. What I thought I knew turns out to be nothing but lies. What I thought was real ends up being nothing more than a falsified reality, where the ending is like a soap opera...Never ending...

And where do I go from here? Do I let myself believe nothing more than my dreams? Allowing myself to feel, taste, smell, breathe the things that are nothing more than figments of an overactive imagination? Or do I fight against the ignorant bliss that enraptures my soul, bringing happiness to the mind, and warmth to my heart? I just don't know. Where is the book of life that tells a person what to do any situation? Where is my cop-out button, my free pass to skip this dreaded test of will, strength and sanity? Haven't I earned it? Haven't I endured enough of life's games, haven't I solved enough of life's riddles to be able to pass go and collect $200?...

I guess not. I guess I am trapped in a never ending enigma. When I jump through a window, to avoid the locked door, I'm faced with another dilemma. Every day is like a silly test, a strange new world of thought that has no rhyme or reason. And I am left in the shadows of a world that has passed me by. I'm more alone than ever, to wander throughout this dismal land of confusion and sorrow. My only hope is to look across the glassy lake of uncertainty, try to see the future and destiny that is so far away, and keep alive the hope that one day, everything will make sense again.
