Disguise

The truth would only serve disturbance
of the grand scene you are playing in
it would only bring disruption
of a game you're sure you'll win

and so I question who I am
to rain on your parade
by catching the truth you throw out
to bottle it up into marmalade

to feed it to you, sour tasting
as it would make itself in time
to make you squint and sputter
knock you out of your sublime

So it makes you feel better now
I bend to pretend I'm not jaded
you'll see it one day I suppose
when the breath from you has faded

that life was never about being right
or flying so high you can't see eyes
it's about seeking truth and accepting it
not using your own as a disguise.
