Truth Be Told

I often say to the universe, “I am doing quite well.”

This is encompassed in a single syllable

The greatest lie ever told

“How are you?” quoth the universe

“Fine”

This philosophical mindset of mine

Transports truth and lies together

Into an abyss of uncertainty

Where can be found no good nor evil

Only words

Only thoughts

Truth be told the greatest lie I ever told was never uttered

I said I was fine for I was fine

Neither good nor bad

Simply fine

I am not okay

If truth be told

I am not fine now

Nor have I ever been

I tend to confuse myself

And in turn confuse all else

For none can understand me

If I do not understand myself

But truth be told I prefer it that way

Sense is for the sensible

For the sane

I am not okay

I am not fine

I am not living though I am alive

I watch the tides turn endlessly in on themselves

And in that I find solace

For nothing else may be considered constant

But flow

My mind ebbs

And I lose my patience, my sanity

I am not lost in this sense

But truth be told in a sense I am lost

For I am nowhere to be found

Within the realm of reality or sanity

All I am is what is not okay

But truth be told

I find that comfortable
