A STRANGER OR AN HONEST MAN

I am but a simple man
So eager to feel loved
In pretence, I made claims of happiness
To whom do I owe such an unborn pleasure?
In lies and deceit did I live
Concealing my undying thirst to be loved
To Labour for love
Is like a thorn in a meadow
Blinded by lustful embers
One heart tramples the soothing call of a beloved
Am I a stranger losing his path?
Or is it the blemish in my honest thoughts?
Just like how the rose loses her lush in a storm
So is trust pummeled amidst lies and deceit
Am I an honest man whose path sprouts diamonds?
Or a stranger whose mistakes draw forth conceit
Of what use is my fight?
A battle long fought without meaning
To what cause must I endure this?
May it be just as destiny decides
A stranger? An honest man?
I may be all but never a deceiver
Am I a stranger or an honest man?
I leave that to destiny to decide.


My loss made me think otherwise about wanting to love again.
I had wrong perceptions. I loved my parents too much and life
took them away. I didn’t want to lose anyone again but that was
all I yearned for. To feel loved and to love back. Was I wrongly
blaming myself and heightening my pain for what happened or
was it indeed my fault that they were gone
