Kids See Ghosts

What if ghosts aren’t the apparitions that give us chills

Maybe they are the purest form of self

Maybe that’s why we see them with fearful eyes

We’re too afraid to be ourselves

So, we exist in the matrix of the dazed in confused

Will you ever jump from the person you pretend to be

If you ever do, you'll learn to breathe within moments, because;

To live authentically is to love fully

p.s. when you dive into the center of your heart, the world sees ghosts…
