Never Took the Time

Sadly what you think you see,
Is based off the opinions of the world's decrees,
If you search from the outside and not from within,
If you don't erase the biased opinions before you begin,
The idea of the outside settles and starts to paint the picture,
And if you never wiped away the thought the heart will go back and remember,
And add to the idea of what you think you see,
Because you listened to everyone else instead of just looking at me,
Because at the end of the day everyone has everything based on an opinion,
When a majority of the time they are completely wrong because they never took the time to look inward.

Interesting. As for me, I look upward for guidance. The heart is a treacherous bugger

Yes ... that's what I meant :)... looking towards me.. like God is speaking to me to looking to him inwardly..many times when I write I feel God is giving me guidance through my writing... not every poem but He does it quite often. God speaks to people in many different ways and ALOT of times this is how he gets to me personally, whether it's to show me how I'm feeling or correcting
