every day of the past three years has been a lie
one thousand ninety five days of deceit
i have pulled the wool over the eyes of friends and family
just in fear of their rejection
the look of disappointment in every eye of every other lalumendre
it is more than one could imagine
children have gone to war to to avoid such a look
because of course they are patriots just like their father damnit
the friends grew up knowing this truth
it was expected. it was inevitable.
we started in the same race, lined up neatly ready to go
but somehow ended up scattered about the lanes. barely breathing.
