Palace of lies and deceit

Truth is red and lies are blue

Welcome to my colorful palace of lies and deceit

I bury my face in the façade of happiness

I bury my hands in the dark ever moving Earth and pull up its truths

I’m a part of the ever-turning globe of answers and questions to which no one has a truth for

Lies comfort

Truths murder

Lies cover me in the hue of ignorance

Truths crack and rip and destroy

Creating fissures in my home of ignorance

I want to coat myself in a paint of resilience to fight the urge to know

I want answers

I crave structure so much that I fixated on anything that doesn’t fit the place that I built

That one stone that the builder refused

I’m capable of telling myself the sickening truth yet I choose to remain in the palace of lies and deceit
