Lost in the sea of betrayal I float alone, shipwrecked- Abandoned… With floating pieces of driftwood, so much like my memories of what I thought was as is. I wonder, as fish nibble at my Toes, I wonder if all that I have laid dear and cherished be so wrong-or deceitful, I don't care anymore. As I feel my parched throat swallow my eternity, I admit I am wrong… I do have my faults… But as if they do not have their own. If I was younger, I would've let go… Succumbing the cold embrace of death- As if they are worth it. Ha! They don't know me, yet judge. Judge as if they have lived me. My life. My knowledge. My failure and achievements. Who are they? Are we not all specks of dust? Are we not all drops of water, frozen in time as whimmed by our God? "If there is such a god." my contemporary would say. I maybe critical-perfectionist or whatever label may be pressed on me. I can lived with that. What I cannot live with is the fact That people wear masks of endearment, Then bare teeth when you are turned. Pathetic. How unmoralistic. And now I ask, "what friendship?" As I slowly watch the setting sun I wonder… wonder if truth and honesty shall ever prevail in this twisted sea of masks.
