Lying Dreams (Villanelle)

I present a fun world as true,

Select places to play without cares.

This is the lie I dream for you.

Others will care when you are blue,

This may catch you unawares,

But I present a caring world as true.

Evil people are few,

Friends won’t greet with glares,

This is the lie I dream for you.

I could never crush your spirit too,

So, every day I put on airs,

And present a better world as true.

The world out there you can make brand new,

These words are the fares,

To the lie I dream for you.

You will succeed the world through,

All the bad are nightmares.

I present all evil as passing and goodness true,

Because this is the lie, I dream for you.
