Jaded

What happens when the truth is jaded,
And life’s washed out and faded?
I don’t care what happens now,
I just want to move on.

I have tried to measure distance,
But I can’t, even with persistence.
Stars are far and heart is near,
Stars thrive in the heart.
I am near and together,
But I am also apart.

What happens when the truth is jaded,
Contradicted, Complicated?
I don’t care what happens now,
I just want to move on.

What I am told is destine to be,
I’ve realized does not pertain to me.
I do not confide in anything for sure,
Except that my soul will never be impure.
My reasoning clashes and conscience is dizzy,
My mind’s never silent but always is busy.

What happens when the truth is jaded,
And familiarity is raided?
Everything I know contradicts,
So I know I can’t move on like this.
