Where once there was a feeling,
Another now takes its place.
Frightened to admit the flaws,
Which I now am forced to face.
Surely reason quenches,
Doubtful, is it ever?
What meaning is there in such a thing,
If they are not tied together?
Certainty does not exist,
Only illusion, and its charade.
Truth woven like a shadow -
Hidden behind a palisade.
Madness begets expulsion,
Expulsion springs forth questions.
Inquiry should engender facts,
But in madness it has no answers.
Don\'t mistake kindness for ignorance,
Or compassion for civility;
Don\'t mistake my bravery for recklessness,
Or my vexation, for inequity.
