They Tell Me

It's your loss
They tell me
You would have
Been happy
With a smile
They tell me
Just one more
Reason to flee
But it's a gain
I tell them
Better to live
In reality
Than to pretend
And live in
A false world
They tell me
Over and over
People decree
These lies
They tell me
To settle facades
Of multiple variety
For my reasons
I tell them
Are of a fool's
But I still
Can believe
What destiny holds
