what is real?

how do you tell the difference between what is real and what is not?

sure it sounds like a stupid question,

but is it?

how many people fall for things and don’t realize it wasn’t real until later.

because this world has mastered hiding the truth behind walls,

twisting little lies in between the truth,

making it all seem real,

until you break and finally see that it never was.

because after you’re manipulated time after time,

when you finally feel that something was going so well,

you finally got this realness,

and it turns out to all be a lie..

how do you trust again?

how do you recognize those warning signs,

when they’re so hidden and masked behind what they claim to be true?

how do you get yourself to see the truth,

before it’s too late,

and you’re broken laying on the floor again,

telling yourself you’ll never trust someone again?

how do you know any of it is real?

or is that all apart of this game we call life?
