Praises and adoration
lie forgotten in the dregs
of what used to be
my treasure
They shout
—glorious, wonderful—
but they fall to ears
not only tragic
but cynical as well

Praises and adiration
chafe under the weight
of toil and expectations
for what used to be
my pride
They claim
—impressive, delightful—
but they fall to heart
not only hardened
but jaded as well

Praises and adoration
whizz past the woes
of what used to be
my life
They scream
—exemplary, timeless—
but they fall to souls
not only worn and used
but stiff as well

Lies and criticism
only feed off the hunger
of what used to be
my ego
They yell
—worthless, rubbish—
and they fall not only
on an expectant mind
but receptive as well
of the lies and criticism
disguised as
praises and adoration
that did nothing
but shatter me
—enough to tell me
that I will never
be enough for most

Strangely
I believe
lies and criticism
more than I do
praises and adoration
