Poem Mirage

Mirage

Imaginary and realistic
Focused and aligned
Blended together what is real
Running away through an imaginary escape

Perilous places seem friendly
And friends become enemies
Enemies become friends
Worlds and lives change

An illusion so deep you cant touch the bottom
Or find the surface to breathe
Twisted reality to suit someone’s needs
While your lost in a mirage to catch you

Running to friends who are really enemies
A wolf in sheep’s clothing to use and destroy you
Nightmares seem like pleasant dreams
Everything ordinary is an illusion and fake

Stories and lies become the truth
When the truth is the key to freedom
Walking in circles with the lights off
No compass or map to guide you out of this mirage
