My Reality

I sit, eyes open to this portrayal of reality.
I wish to reveal my true self, so I look out
And witness the sights broken with a fine brutality
By those chosen to keep us safe- happy tragedy. 

But seeing without
Does not reveal within.

Well penned Evan! That which is within is often layered and difficult to perceive and reveal. Have a beautiful year!
