subtle falsities


Subtle shades of jealousy, painted red hundred times over

Masking it with the sparingly understood word of compassion, false compassion

Subtle shades of sadness painted yellow hundred times over

Not brave enough to trust that people might understand for once

Subtle shades of pure joy, painted black hundred times over

Always afraid of judgement, afraid to be truly happy

Subtle shades of true love, painted blue hundred times over

To not be branded blind, but to be known as loving for convenience

Ah! Such is the condition of the world today that doth thrive on falsities
Thus sayeth a wise philosopher...
