The Way I See It  #23

Chances are you are scared of fictions.  Chances are you are only fleetingly happy.  Chances are you know much less than you think you do.  Chances are you feel a little guilty.  Chances are you want people to lie to you.  Perhaps the answer lies on the side of a coffee cup.  You are lost.
