FicWad

We construct a love
of lies and fantasies.
only to see it crushed
by the true reality.

We construct a friend
for a need to care
and be cared about,
only to lose them in the end.

We construct our equals
through our similarities
which, in truth, we created,
and do not exist outside fiction.

We construct the weak
through our superiority
and our want to be great,
only to see we are lesser than they,

We create the great
to have something to look up to
and to strive to be,
only to have them fall short.

We create an enemy
to have something to hate,
to finish our fantasies,
only to cause more death.

We create our relationships
to satisfy our own needs,
out of our own selfishness,
only to see them all fail.
