illusion

we all live inside a bubble,
until one day reality explodes it.

truths come out to the light.
we see the other side of the coin.

and it hurts.

it hurts to realize that the world you lived in
wasn’t real.

lies after lies.
deception after deception.

tears stream down your face.
but don’t worry.

calm will come.
the peace.

and you’ll feel better about yourself.

for not having any more misconceptions,
for knowing how to discern the right from the wrong.

be strong,
have patience.

and you’ll see how everything goes away.

because every cloud has a silver lining.
