I would lie
to myself
in order to
see what
I truly wish
to believe,
for I desire
a reality
which I truly
cannot obtain.
I cannot
escape certain
truths that
I wish
were the
reality of
someone else,
someone not
like myself.
I desire
something
other than
what I feel;
I desire
a reality
that is
not real.
