Mrs. Know It All

Emotions poured into the glass, as I rid the grasp life has
We all crave perfection instead we marry rejection
For a moment life seems like fairy tales and dreams

My fears found a voice and spoke to me, this can’t be
I want to poison the demon that won’t stop screaming
On this one way path to the unknown has my courage shown

I have been taught to trust in a world of lies and lust
I was taught to be honest even after every broken promise
When I cried they looked away, oh humanity is lost this day

In these cross streets I linger, waiting to bring her
Into the dark alleys of humanity where we dance with insanity
Where time doesn’t reverse and we fall under her curse
Now I ask Mrs. Know it all when does faith stand tall

2nd stanza last line
are you asking if your courage has shown
if not perhaps my courage has shown or I've shown might work better

Let your mercy spill on all these burning hearts in hell(Leonard Cohen)

I liked this poem, is not always easy to say why, it read well and its content was well put and exciting too.

Like a lot "Emotions poured into the glass," it even begs a poem for itself!

Not quite understanding who Mrs Know-it-all is and what faith you are speaking of. Faith in mankind possibly and that's debatable, as there are so many variations of man.
