Steem poetrycontest #8 My greatest illusion

Faith is an illusion, an optimist's prediction,
Unable to tell what's real from what's fiction,
Happiness seems to be the tears I have cried,
Self-slaying many times I've tried.

Surrounded by people yet all alone,
Trapped within this desolate zone,
A world where hate salute,
Every bit of happiness that may try to elude.

What will it take to get me right,
A visit from the devil on a cozy night,
Angels prepare to battle and take a stand,
To remind me of their sacred land.
