La-La Land Poem by cheryl davis miller

Strange how the mind can trick us to
believe deceit and lies.
Excusing the offenders when
the truth we realize.

I guess believing more lies seems
to ease the pain we feel.
Cause 'La-la Land' is kinder than
the cold hard truth that's real.

I guess you meant more to me then
I ever meant to you.
To face that cold reality
is what I must now do.

It won't be easy, I know that
I've tried for years I vow
that I am leaving 'La-la Land'
my journey begins now.
