Perception

I haven’t seen or heard another person talk lately.
Only seeing their lips moving hasty,

Seemingly, they’re trying to gawk at she & play it safely.

One day you will be able to see as well as me,
That their eyes are not ordinary like yours or mine.

So instead of believing in a beautiful design that disguises their nature to a certain degree that makes you purposely shift beliefs,

Try to open your eyes to stop viewing your life in the same old black & white lines.

Because only then will you truly see how divine the release of boulders off your shoulders could suddenly feels so heavenly light.
