Masked Deception

I swirl my tongue around
On already answered questions
Painfully battling a war within
Me doubting the trust in
The actions of those
Who hide behind a mask
Painted in the words of
Deceit

I study the ink blots
On the walls of my mind
Trying to develop an
Image of realistic solutions
To devour the identity of
False accusations

I watch the toxic oil
From my body illuminate
The ink as I brush my hand
Across the paper slowly
extinguishing The dark
Flames that burn within

I inhale the ashes
Of situations I cremated
And exhale a Stream of
White clouds that purify
The venomous tone
Used from Misunderstanding


My insecurities slowly
Dissolve in the hands of
The heart that carries me
Down the river with passion
Choking the sharks with
Kindness and killing them
With each wave of good
Intentions

I rise from the quicksand
And walk through the desert
With the confidence and knowledge
To liquify the heat waves and wash
Through the scorpions cleansing
Them of the poison turning them
Into a successful experience
