Paint Over The Truths by John Patrick Robbins

I view every binge like a new coat of paint on a broken down soul.

It's truly window dressing and nothing more.
We often ignore the flaws of talent.
Forgetting humans are fractured by nature.

A animal left fatally wounded beside the road.
I cannot hide the reality everyone chooses to ignore.

Mine is a worn out story with an ever tragic end.
We paint over flaws, but no matter the distraction they linger just the same.

Buried only in our imagination. 
A new coat of paint hides nothing but the cracks.

The only ones who see clearly, are the so called blind.

We are fractured souls trapped together.
The only true question.

Is to what degree.
