Paradigm

Delusions, I think in darker moments
Crafted to cover for a life gone wrong
Protecting my soul from the reality
That I am approaching the end of my song

But the strangeness of late has been growing
This mask of reality worn thin
Seeing the holes in these constructs
Perhaps when I believe, we’ll begin

Do open my eyes to these wonders
Or close them like I’ve often done
No return once these truths are accepted
This new paradigm from which I cannot run.
