We were lied – poem and inspiration

We were lied to
About all in the world
Lied to about Love
And the soul
Now we search
Confused as adults
The answers we sought
Before.

This poem captures the disillusionment and confusion of adulthood, reflecting on the falsehoods we were told about love and the soul.

Yes, we were taught, told, brainwashed by our parents, family, culture,  government,  church….

The poem speaks to the universal experience of grappling with unmet expectations and a sense of betrayal by the narratives that shaped our understanding of the world.

It’s a poignant reminder of the struggles we face in reconciling what we were taught with what we find to be true.

What to do?

I am forgetting what I learned before and learning something new.
