Typical Mistake

It's not so typical 

This truth you witness.
It's every tear that falls 
And it's every move you make.
It's everything you see
And  it's every step you take.
It's so critical of you
To  cover up the truth.
It's every reason to call.
It's every breath you take.
It's everything you want to be 
And it's all to justify its sake.
It's not so physical.
This lie you pretend that isn't. 
It's the fear of denying it all
And it's every excuse you make.
It's everything you don't need.
And it's your most grievous mistake.
