Lying alone

Encapsulated in fear

The truth we seek

Is never so near

Shrouded by night

Frozen by dark

Reaching out through

The gauze of night

Reality we see

Reality we feel

Blinded by shrouds

Of dark we build

Yearning for freedom

Yearning for truth

That we’ll never find

Hidden from ourselves

Why we care

I do not know

Living our lives

As if they matter

Just the other side

Of our real walls

The truth of our unreality

Lie beyond our grasp

Never to know

Never to feel

The wonder & pain

The beauty & darkness

Why we care

I do not know

Living our lives

As if they matter

Chaos & destruction

The rending of our world

Our “reality” destroyed

Our arrogance denied

Forced disillusion

The path to truth.
