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
