Disillusioned At Heart

by Maria Lisa Polegatto

I entered the world today
Giving it another shot
Stepping outside to join in
To do my part

Things were going well
But then it happened again
The world fell in
As my insides fell out

Why am I always surprised
When they do it again
What joy they take
How far they are willing to go

But who am I to wonder where I belong
Even with all I know of them
I am again disillusioned at heart
Better than being delusional

So I took my seat up high
Never minding the fake smiles
For God is keeping me safe
As I rode off on my unicorn again.
