Loyalty In The Lie

By Sanya Bali

On the periphery of a common notion,

Never had I seen someone treat a friend with contempt

And it was sure that my place would echo down the years

I’d stay on the periphery of this false delusion unbothered

Heal and uplift the worthy as I float,

Even if it meant floating around the notion

For many didn’t choose to be there

And my heart refuses to leave without bestowing light back to those lost eyes.
