The Games People Play

Is it self delusion
or just an illusion
when you know what I mean
but it doesn't reach within

something in your ego
something in my mind
goes into a loop
and does a rewind

say what you mean
mean what you say
life is not so simple
with the games people play

why go around in circles
with so many hurdles
doesn't make you small
if you break down the walls

so much manipulation
leads to hurt and anger
emotions on the run
dried on a hanger

Your ego gets a boost
when it manipulates and rules
conniving and contriving
makes us look like fools

you refuse to believe
that ego plays a part
in this merry-go-round
with a tug of heart

love, lies and deceit
why are they intertwined
you give and you recieve
the way tis designed

deal with your demons

live a simple life

clear up the cobwebs
of your mind

how does it matter
who wins and who loses
life is not a race
for one who chooses

to believe in oneself
have a strong heart
stick by your words
live fair and smart

dont hide behind silences
they hurt and prey
on the peace of your world
with your life in fray

talk it out in the open
lay down your grief
sort out the words
and bury it with relief

tears can burn
tears can make you sigh
wise words when spoken
can make you fly high

so go home today
sit down with your love
open all the knots
which lie within your trove

dont hide behind words
nor your silences
just make it all count
and let go of the differences......
