The Fool

The Fool

Life is so much easier

From the outside looking in

So much easier to run away

Than to finish what you began.

You look in the mirror

And what do you see?

A fool standing before you

Full of pain and misery.

Your heart used to be

So wild and free

And now it’s just us

Just you and me.

You see what you want

You believe what you hear

Your guilt becomes anger

When it’s really only fear.

You are a fool for believing

Your own lies

You cling to the hope

That you can break all ties.

The fool in you grows

Day by day

Because you feel justified

In going astray.

Your friends and family

Pretend to care

They pretend to support you

But they won’t be there.

You keep believing

You are in control

But you are only a fool

The truth lies within your soul.
