Delusions
by Kate Reneigh Woodruff

I know not who to trust
I know not how to care
But, I do know that this life- sucks
That there is muck everywhere

It doesn't matter... why do I care?
Everything is just a lie
The truth was forgotten long ago
And obviously so was love

I need someone to be there,
To step on me, to belittle me.
I wish for nothing more
To do so would be delusional

Do people still believe...
In miracles? In anything?
I guess not, no use to believe
Nothing ever turns out right

The more you hope the harder you fall
I won't torture myself
Not to any degree does it help
Nor does it make a difference

Life will still suck tomorrow
There will be more muck to step in
Don't confuse fantasy 
With cold reality

I want to believe...
In you.  In me.  In life.
But what for?  Little bit more pain
Little bit more suffering

My thoughts become a blur
I care about nothing
That won't be here tomorrow
So, I guess I don't care about you

The hurt upon my lips
The sorrow in my eyes
Are simply reflections of the world
No delusion there
