Memories

isn’t it funny how we lie to ourselves to preserve that version of self we like….I was having a play with the ivories and mulling this question over

Memories
The Yesterday’s in life are always beautiful
There always untarnished by the truth
bitter words are forgotten falsehoods made to sooth
Just so those memories can become our truth

Facing up to self
Putting truth up upon the shelf
Just so we can try to love ourselves

Callous actions vicious torments
Actions of the fool from your youth
Half truths pour into your mind like vermouth
To cover the truth that can’t be traced

Facing up to self
Putting truth up upon the shelf
Just so we can try to love ourselves

Days filled with anger and mistrust
Actions that were taken that were unjust
The lies to cover the truth of misery
The memories made up to invent a history

Facing up to self
Putting truth up upon the shelf
Just so we can try to love ourselves

Break

Facing up to self
Putting truth up upon the shelf
Just so we can try to love ourselves
Facing up to self
Putting truth up upon the shelf
Just so we can try to love ourselves

The Yesterday’s in life are always beautiful
There always untarnished by the truth
bitter words are forgotten falsehoods made to sooth
Just so those memories can become our truth

Facing up to self
Putting truth up upon the shelf
Just so we can try to love ourselves
Facing up to self
Putting truth up upon the shelf
Just so we can try to love ourselves
