Jaded

I

Am all you’ve ever seen

Enlightening your dreams

From a place you’ll never find

Lost in parts you try to hide

All that make up: a facade

For a life you’ve never had

And your mind is numb, it shows

From deception you still grow

Spread the words that you’ve been told

And show a face that fears the old

Age of your decent

A sense of crime that won’t repent

When all that was

Has sagged and faded

I know you now

As spent

And jaded
