Do you ever look back at your life
And realize
That all those days you thought you were happy
Were just lies you told yourself so you could sleep at night?
But now that you've had time to process the past
It all seems a little too sad
Almost like the feeling you had was just a memory you tried to hide
From Yourself
Because maybe if you knew back then you might not have made it to here,
Like it was a form of self preservation
To ensure you lived in bliss, this ignorance
Of what now seems almost too clear -
That maybe everyone else knew what you concealed
That maybe your happiness was never here?
Or is this all tainted and maimed;
Are all the memories colored grey just fake,
Lost in light shining bright and vivid
In eyes that just can't see the colors they were lived in?
