*Sigh*

Reality is an Illusion

Believe it or not, it's true

It looks fun, it looks alluring

But if you take off the blindfold, you'll see the truth

There are cruel, even cruelest of the cruel

Evil as sinners, killers, thieves, and thugs can be

If you're too kind, they'll take advantage

If you're too trusting, they'll stab you in the back

The world seems like a nice place

Full of games, rainbows, sugar, and faces you've never seen

But before you know it, it bites you in the face

It can corrupt in a matter of ways

There's always people involved

One good, one evil

They hurt you, and you want to hurt them back

You want them to pay

They beg for mercy

Tessa, that's not the way

Ever heard of two wrongs don't make a right?

Forgive and forget

Revenge is not the way

It hurts and it hurts

You want to punish those who hurt you

If you continue, you'll lose everything

Your heart, your soul, even yourself

You hurt even those you care about on your path

Tessa, there are better ways you can handle this

Move on, forgive, forget the past

Moving on will help you cope

Forgive even those who have hurt you the most

The past makes you feel regret, wrath, and even vengeance

Be strong, fight against the hate

Don't let those memories drip blood on your mind

Anger is like a dripping blade, it never stops until it had sliced

Think about all you have left behind

How can revenge be important than that?

You need to make a choice.

A choice

Forgive and forget or lose everything

.....

I said it once, I'll say it again

Reality is an illusion, don't deny

Everything is not what it seems to be

Under the blindfold, all you see are fun and games

But once you finally see, it's not what you thought

Cute can be evil, scary can be kind, you just need to  be more cautious, then you'll be fine

Don't listen to the voices in your head

Forget, forgive what she did

Don't retaliate, it'll only cause much worse

Forgetting will help you cope, so forget and forgive

Avoid the past, look into the future

Reality can leave you in the dumps, believe me

I've seen it before with my very own eye

You walk into the dark, yet you never see  the light

You find yourself astray from home

You're trapped with no other options

You must fight

Fight back against the dark

Only then you'll be free

So be strong, be brave, come on!

Fight against all the anger and hate

You can do it if you believe in yourself

Once it's over, you'll finally be relieved

You'll be spinning with joy and the freedom of a century

Only then, you'll finally no longer feel hurt

Forgive and forget, I know you can

Family and friends is more important

You just got to see that reality is more than being real

See that it can lie

To your face

....

Reality is an illusion

You must buy gold and conquer its fate

I forgave and forgot, I moved on from the past

I fought against all the things that overflowed

All the regret, shame, guilt, and hate

If you move on, forgive, forget, things will finally be right

You'll finally be relieved of all the pain

You'll finally be home, full of joy and life

See new experiences, beloved ones, and new faces

Play all the games, finally love again

There are people you can trust

There are people you can't trust

Remember that and everything will be fine

Reality is an illusion

You can see through the spell

Be strong, be brave

Fight hard and might

Only then you'll finally be relieved of the pain

Forgive the evil soul, forget what they did, move on

Return to the life

Only those who take off the blindfold

Can see through the illusion

Come on

I know you can see

I believe in you

Tessa
