Reassurance

These reassurances

I do not believe them anymore

Just as I don’t believe in fiction

Or non-reality.

These reassurances

Which seem so sweet and enlightening

When said

Have become a mixture

Of disbelief and dread.

These reassurances

Are only illusions to the receiver

A success to the giver;

A dying candle flame

In the dark;

A feather light blanket

To a kid

In the freezing cold.

Reassurance

Like many things

Are what we want to believe,

Are what we want to feel better

And when we are reassured

Only,

Later do we find the pain, fear, emotion that is lost

And hiding behind our reassurance.
