Lost

How real is the word 'truth'

How much honesty can one told?

Could it be that our eyes are too deceiving?

Could it be that none of what we saw... happened?

Or perhaps I'm just too weak

To tell myself which one is real and fake

Nah...! No...! 

I am not !

But alas~

Which one is true 

Which one is lie.. ?

When torn between two different reality

Which one would I embrace, which one would I throw away?

Should I trust my eyes that see things?

Should I trust my ears that hear the words?

Should I trust my heart that feels it?

Or should I just shut everything

And let my feet wander

Whichever way it may take me

Whatever path it may lead me

But if I know I could never go back

If courage will cheat on me and leave me

Would I... would I... still be able to go forward?

I like the poem a lot. The deciding of what is true and a lie. One of the hardest things to do. I like the many questions in the poem. Most of the questions are answered by time and living.
"But if I know I could never go back
If courage will cheat on me and leave me
Would I... would I... still be able to go forward?"
The above lines were a perfect ending to the excellent poetry.

A teacher of mine once told me there's a thin line between sanity and insanity.. perhaps it's the same with truth and lie..a thin line between them. It's really a risk deciding which is which, and the essence of being alive I guess. Thanks a lot.

Conflicting, confusing emotions expressed very well here. A state of chaos that prevails in every one's life at some juncture. You did a great job of penning them. Thanks.

I think we all ask ourselves these questions on a regular basis, often unconsciously. You've done a lovely job expressing these feelings in a way we all can relate to...nicely done.
