Which Is Which? Poem by Aez NewHeller

I am doubtful
Or to myself I am making a fool?
World is a lie,
Freaks want to die
Is that what they really are?
or my mind is just going too far?

Things aren't what they seem to be
But what they seem to be,
That's what I can't say
I don't know which is which
But I'd prefer to believe the glitch

The people you are talking to
are they telling you what's true?
Or just make-believe stories,
Instead of the 'sorries'?

If you are in their shoes,
Which would you choose?
TRUTH that DESTROYS,
or DECEIT that PROTECTS?
