In the valley of betrayal
A husband . . . or a wife . . .
Why avoid the ultimate?
Like a severing knife
That image, just a metaphor
Reflecting breaking free
Why live inside of pretense
Conditioned to a knee?
Is it the opinions of the world around
As in what others think ? . . .
Or, related to economics
Fear your ship will sink?
Needs, beliefs, fear of change
Holds one in its grip
While swallowing the misery
The ego never lets us slip.
