The Doubts and Tears
No one's genuine, in this world of disguise
Where fake smiles hide, the pain and lonely eyes
Moments slip away, like sand between my fingers
Nothing remains, but memories that linger


Time changes all, like shifting desert sands
Leaving me wondering, in this endless land
Time's relentless passage, steals all that's dear
Leaving me with questions, and a heart full of fear

Who's true, who's fake, a never-ending maze
Trust shatters like glass, in a world of haze
Who's true, who's fake, a never-ending test
Trust is a luxury, few can possess

A world of pretenses, where genuine hearts demise
A life in flux, where change is the only shade

Every second ticks, with stress and anxious fears
A never-ending cycle, of doubts and tears
No one's true, no one's real, it seems
Just a masquerade, of broken dreams

People come and go, like seasons in the wind
Their true selves hidden, behind a mask to fit in
Leaving me wondering, if anyone will ever know
The true meaning of love, of trust, of peace
In a world where fake smiles, and false promises never cease

Everyone's a showman, boasting their strife
But where's the hope, where's the peaceful life?
In this sea of uncertainty, I search for a shore
A place to anchor, where love and truth restore

Where's the hope, where's the peace, I ask
In a world that's lost, its true path
Everyone's a stranger, in a crowded space
Where genuine hearts, a rare, precious to find, a fleeting grace
No peace, no hope, just a desperate disguise
A life of over-showing, where true feelings demise

Even the new, becomes old and thrown
Nothing's extraordinary, in this life that's torn
Just a show of busyness, a facade to conceal
The emptiness within, the heart that's lost its feel

My question remains, a heartfelt plea
Why do we fake, our lives, when none of it's real, none of it's free?
Why do we chase, what's not truly ours?
Why do we settle, for a life that's not worth living, for a love that's not worth giving?

In this sea of uncertainty, I search for a shore
A place to anchor, where love and truth restore
A place to call home, where hearts can be true
A place to find peace, in a world that's lost its way, anew."

People boast of struggles, they don't truly face
Hiding behind masks, in a world of empty space
No one's permanent, yet they flaunt and pretend
Why do we fake our lives, in this endless charade?
Why hide our true selves, in a world of masquerade?
Is it fear, is it shame, or just a desperate cry?
For in the silence, I hear a whispered sigh
In a web of deceit, of lies, of pain
Where love's a luxury, few can obtain



But still I hold on, to a glimmer of hope
A light in the darkness, a heart that can cope
For even in the fake, a spark of realness gleams
A chance for redemption, a chance to break the schemes
Where's the hope, where's the peace, in this world of pain?
Is it just a dream, or a fleeting refrain?
I search for answers, in the darkness and the light
But like sand between fingers, they slip away in the night

So I'll hold on to hope, like a beacon in the night
And cherish the moments, that feel like a warm light
And though the world may fake, I'll seek the true and kind
And in the silence, may my heart and soul entwine.
