In Pieces

A storyline as common as

The shoes upon your feet,

Sneaking up behind you as

You look the other way.

 

You were just an actor

Strutting loud upon a stage

Spouting lines that someone else

Had given you to say.

 

Amazing how simplicity

Can be so damned elusive,

How digging out and digging in

Can leave you stupefied.

 

The telling of the tale

Becomes a complicated matter

Spinning truth in circles til

You don’t know who has lied.

 

Prideful dissertation

Creates many cracks and creases,

Shattering hope, leaving lives

In tiny little pieces.
