MIRAGE

With fairy tales
we fool ourselves.
and try to
Dream our dreams.
We lull ourselves
into believing Life,
is what it seems.
But, Life is always ever
comprised of a,
mirage of lies,
We shatter our hearts
without exception
upon the ramparts
of sorrows and deceptions.
Then slowly come to realize,
of smoke and shade,
everything is made.
Reality is but a charade.
