Hunted By A Lie

Kurt Philip Behm

Did you find the exact life you wished for,

do you have the money you craved

 

Did you find they were not the same at all

once that final purchase was made

 

Are you feeling nothing but emptiness

sitting here disillusioned and alone

 

Have the mirrors all been taken down

—stark reminders of the falsehood you’ve known

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2016)

    Kurt,
    Exact life? Not exactly!
    ...and almost all the
    mirrors have been taken
    down! Great last line!

    ~Laura~
