Perception, Challenged

January 16, 2026

Your behavior did not hurt me, It was my mental processing That violated your self-perception Which hurt you by contradicting.

Questioning alignment of behavior With self-perception, I was playing A mind game I didn’t mean to start, The fault is all mine, sure, I’m saying.

You loved me and I was straying.

Each side chose colors Wore them with pride Then masqueraded as others

These days bring more agony The world continues to burn The heart continues to churn

Loneliness comes with the territory But the betrayals are optional Without that stab in the back
