Illusion
What is around me is the cause of my unhappiness
It’s his fault, it’s hers
I hate my body, I hate my job
It is the world’s fault I’m miserable
Holding me back from what is desirable
My boss is an idiot, my friend is a jerk
I plod about each day without a clue
It’s everyone else’s fault that I’m hurt
What I don’t realize is I am a fool
As I continue to deflect blame and hate
To insist that the world would be great
If everything I wanted, I could create
When everything is perfect, then life can be celebrated
Yet I dance to someone else’ tune
Yet I continue to be berated
My parents suck, they don’t understand
Not realizing that it’s because of what I do
If only I had the right car, the right house
The best location, the best situation
I continue to be unaware that my strings are being pulled
By beings well outside of my control
Blinded by the media, the upbringing, and strife
I believed I was in control of my life
The facade came crashing down all around
Now that I know that control was always beyond
Yet it was out of reach and out of sight
I now know I must venture within
For my understanding of the truth to finally begin
