Choice

Posted by TheMelancholySpitfire on

People choose to see what they wish,
until faced with concrete reality that can’t be ignored,
not that the past ever should have been,
just for a taste of the present; brief moments with him,
Liars are good at what they do –
they deflect their behavior back onto you,
when it’s not in your nature,
they know it’s true,
but they know how to use,
that is their truth.

        I know! But, when you figure this out, you have a chance to prevent it from happening again. I guess there is a lesson we learn in being burned by liars.

        Thanks, Perc. I know you’re right, and it was high time the lightbulb turned on.
