Illusions

It's a little bit
tiring sometimes,
holding on to them.
It gets a little
too painful,
knowing that
you are holding on
to something
that isn't even there.
But what can you do?
It's all you got.
It's the only thing
that gets you
from one day
to another.
It's your only refuge,
your cover,
your escape
to the
terrible reality
of this
cruel world.
