Selling the drama

the games people play

 

Words

Cut to bone

Truth

 Distorted by lies

And sold in the drama

To anyone that would listen

You did what you did

You said what you said

Only you know why

Believing your own lies

You play your little games

Drama

Spun out of control

A grand Illusion

A mind

That thinks they

are in control

Lies have been told

The drama has been sold

The truth lies somewhere

In the Grand Illusion

In the game that you like to play

In the things that you say

You think no one  really cares

as the price for admission was free

Can't you see?

You never fooled me

And when the drama has come to an end

The truth  finally stands up

and applauds

A stellar performance

And it will never let you forget

You were only fooling yourself

haha! Bravo! This is perfectly expressed. I think we've all played a part somehow in this type of performance -- the grand illusion. lol. Coincidently, I just added the Styx song "Grand Illusion" to my playlist the other day, and was inspired to write something regarding the same, though haven't started it yet. So, when I read this I was a little .... surprised.

Great flow :)

Very well done!

Fantastic piece my friend, I know some of these people well including my father that play people for attention and many other greedy reasons... what a powerful vent... let the drama kings and queens play by themselves for we have better things to do.

ha! great piece here Victoria....it does seem like a stage play sometimes....as those wonderful lies are bought hook, line and sinker by the masses....as you sit back, knowing the truth, knowing the lie....wondering how long the illusion will hold up. I loved the ending here - as the truth comes back to haunt the director of the drama play....fantastic vent here....and so so true.

*hugs*

There is a lot of pain in this peice, and I think everyone who reads it will be able to identify with pieces from it, I know I certainly can. I loved it. I think it's some very good work.

I am dealing with a situation like this at work. i am waiting for the final curtain to fall and the drama to be over.

good poem to express how we all feel at one point or another.

Ah, but they never quite get that, do they?
Do we?
Very good piece. I have been here recently!!
