A.N So I wrote this poem way back in like January and it has been sitting on the notes in my phone ever since. I recently went through what I had on there and was like, maybe I should post this. So here it is, I hope you enjoy!

But Why? (They Lie)

Run,
They say.
Hide,
They say.
Spy,
They say.
But why?


What's the point?
Why do I fight?
Who am I?
Anymore.


Find,
They say.
Deceive,
They say.
Mine,
They say.
But why?


A person,
Who owns nothing.
A boy,
Without an identity.
The mask,
So strong.
What is beneath it,
Anyway?


Leave,
They say.
Escape,
They say.
Come back,
They say.
But why?


Backup never comes.
Living on my wits.
Fighting for my life.
But who's life is it?


We'll come,
They say.
We care,
They say.
You can leave,
They say.
But why?


It's all I know,
Now.
Instincts,
Live on the edge.
Adrenaline rush,
An asset.
What else is there?


You have a choice,
They say.
We'll let you go,
They say.
Forever,
They say.


They lie.


A.N So yeah, that was it. Just a small thing but I hope you did enjoy it. Cheers, Kadme.
