Searching for the truth amongst many lies Which friend or foe lover or deceiver My heart broken beyond repair good bye I kept wanting to turn the lie to truth
Looking into the mirror not at me Different shapes different sizes nothing changed A slight trick of the hand now you don't see Magic trickery just an illusion
The curtain closed then opened all were gone No closing bow no standing ovation No illusion just me standing alone A simple curtsy from a mere lady
The lights dimmed the room darkened then silence Clarity became seen then all made sense

About this poem:
Sometimes in life you have to except what you want to be true does not make it true. One day one might realize they are sitting in a room full of strangers. Kindness goes a long way life. Remember in life you are what you eat. You are what you put into your self. If you put love and kindness into yourself then that is what you will be, so if you find yourself feeding negativity into your life the sensiable thing to do is make changes if it is not where you want to be. Love to all.
Happy - you speak a lot of sense here, and the diet of love and kindness sure tastes great! Cool poem m'lady

Poetry is the sharing of our personal observations. I can relate to this one on a deep level. The lessons become the wisdom we ever carry. These tools serve us well in the course of time. Good write. Best wishes for a magical holiday. This is the time of year when we can really get caught up in stuff that makes us beat ourselves up. Moderation in all things and a reminder to MYSELF. Celtic

wonderful observation....sometimes hurt, but better to accept.....Kathy
[No closing bow no standing ovation], so nostalgic and melancholy, sometimes, all a great soul like you has left is = No closing bow no standing ovation, but, I know you can rise above that..., love and light...

Hi Happy
A quite lovely exercise in self-deprecation - with not a little wry humour. I enjoyed the read.
