False Security
February 20, 2010
I cannot fight
with weakened fists
I cannot see
with sheltered eyes
I cannot hide like a child
From the corrupt deceit and lies
I cannot choose
with tainted morals
I cannot feel
with a hollow heart
I cannot pretend my imagination
hasn't carried me thus far
I cannot breathe
with these crushed lungs
I cannot hope
with shattered dreams
And I cannot believe
that beyond these blurring battle lines
the lone enemy is me
