Lies
-*-
Of all the lies that I'd been told
there is one that rings of true:
that the only and great virtue
is to break from one self hold.
-*-
'cause there are myriads of small nous
that can add up to your fight,
if you aid yourself just right
you'll escape from Hell's abuse.
-*-
Now, just be cautious with your ploy,
you don't want your echo aware;
run abrading your soul bare,
use your tears as sheer decoys.
-*-
You'll see your zeal go wild
as you reach the forest's fringe;
this is where your victory hinges,
after years feeling defiled.
-*-
Of all the lies that I'd been told
there is one that holds no true:
"Life is pain in a long queue!"...
...watch me grasp free rein ahold.

Started writing short stories back in 1988 at work, when I had an empty page to fill for the employee's internal magazine. Taking the pen again after a 30 year-long hiatus, exploring where it takes me this time.

A sense of truth and freedom! Love it.
"Now, just be cautious with your ploy, you don't want your echo aware; run abrading your soul bare, use your tears as sheer decoys." I especially loved that stanza!
