Clear as Day


It's the other life that you live

Behind the wall of deception,

That you think if nobody sees it,

Leaves you immune to only perfection.


Thinking transparency throws off any doubt,

You’re the driver of this extended expedition.

Yet you are never the one behind the wheel,

So there’s no need for any contrition.


Entangled for years in this guidance

That really is your parallel fantasies,

That because you avoid any intimacy,

Only blinds you to what you think is seen.


This emotional momentum has surpassed

Any spiritual connection on which the seed was planted.

Now compromised and tangled is your subconscious,

To remedy or even realize it’s too late to be recanted.


An emotion we don’t like to endure

Is that of loneliness and isolation.

Yet His house has begun to start to teeter,

Where there are too many cracks in its foundation.


It’s actions like these that harden our hearts,

But keep telling yourself that nothing is wrong.

You think it all affects nobody around you;

You will continue with burying truths forever and so long.


It’s the other life that you live

For the better part of many a day,

That has brought on this turbulence now.

There are none so blind to what is clear as day.
