Shattering Illusions

September 28, 2009
By Anonymous

If I let you tell me your lies,
If I sit and hide,
The world breaks over me,
But I won't let thatr happen.
Your little world of fragile lies,
Your shallow illusion,
Your world of glass,
Your little box of lies.
I will throw the stone,
I will shatter that world.
If you want to compete with me,
Fall into the pit,
And clim out
With your own two hands.

I hope that maybe some one will focus on the meaning, and fight the lies people tell.
