Isn’t it amazing how one voiced perception can sway so many in a completely different direction?
Some try to make it seem easier to follow offering infinite protection
Assuring you that you shall never again feel or fear that cruel sting of rejection
They won’t ask much, no one expects perfection
“So long as you listen closely and do things exactly the way I say, you will find no need for correction”
So easily some are entangled in their webs of deceit
Having you believe you’re winning when in reality you’ve unwittingly accepted defeat
Who could have known all alone you might feel more complete
Sadly I’ve come to realize I can rarely trust the smiling faces I meet
Tho I try not to forget each and every one of us is unique
Unfortunately there are so few left who have remained sweet
The ones you know you can always count on in your time of need
Those amazing few left unconsumed by that terrible greed
They’re there with only a moment’s notice, not a single hesitation nor a single second wasted waiting for you beg and plead
The ones who not only mean what they say, but always say exactly what they mean
