A Lost Battle By: Kelvalyn Arbizu Written on January 5, 2006 Temptation tears an invisible line between reality and make-believe because we want our fantasies to be true. So true, we become decieved and we pretend like everything's fine, copesthetic, pleasant, and respectively sublime. Yet, deep inside we come alive (if only to witness passions' crime) and in due time, we match the sign inside a taletell heart. We cry as we continue to love without bias. Oh, how our inhibitions die! What brief good-bye a worry gives and fear forgotten all too soon. For being care-free leads to being gullible and long lasting content is yet assumed to be the only thing left amongst us. Oh, how temptation has an art of making us dilusional while tearing us apart. Are we not more than mammals? For inside our mortal souls instinctive motives tell us to give temptation control and the loose grip we have on reality is slowly and unknowingly lost. In the end an innocent heart is what will pay the cost. How cunning is temptation! She comes like a theif in the night and presents a difficult crossroad when a travelers path is right and the victim second-guesses on the correct road to take. For when the right devices tempt us we will surely make a mistake. Blinded by our dreams, we forget to be cautious of whimsical things that seem to be flawless until the seams are ripped and we see what's really there. You see, reality mixed with pageantry is nothing but dispair hidden in the dark; waiting patiently until the time draws near and since our minds are misguided, not one trouble will appear until temptation finally wins and destroys the very core of the person who was waged in battle but unfortunately unaware of the war.
