TRUTHS THE WORLD HAS TAUGHT ME

This world has taught me many things,
It's served its purpose well,
Encased my heart, entrapped my soul,
Within it's phantom shell.

The first thing that it taught me,
Was life's a wicked road,
To prove it's point it taunted me,
With dreams I bought and sold.

Holding bait before my face,
Then snatching it away,
As I struggled endlessly,
To keep the wolves at bay.

The second thing it taught me,
A lesson carved in stone,
Is other's can't be trusted,
So it's best to be alone.

Don't think about companionship,
For it's merely an ideal,
A senseless flight of fancy,
None of it is real.

The next thing that it taught me,
Was love did not exist,
"Only fools and idiots, believe"
The world had hissed.

And just to add validity,
Each one that I've held close,
Has gone and left me trembling,
When I needed them the most.

It's taught me things I never knew,
Or really cared to hear,
Ruled my life through tyranny,
While casting doubt and fear.

Counterfeit realities
A story packed with lies,
Obscuring truth and vision,
With well versed alibis.

These truths the world has taught me,
So contrasting they are,
To everything you've taught me,
My precious guiding star.

This path in which we tread upon,
Etched in this earthen ground,
Although there may be perils,
Dreams can still be found.

And trust, although it's very hard,
It's been the given key,
To open locks within my heart,
To set my spirit free.

The love I thought did not exist,
I see within your eyes,
While the truths the world has taught me,
Are a great big pack of lies!
