Kayla Hill Poet Free verse

Perspective

Perspective

I stand In front of the mirror hoping my eyes will see the through the lenses of someone else's view of me

I lock eyes with my external self
My soul wants to step out but my body holds it back
If eyes are the window to the soul why can't I see it?

I take off my glasses 
The magnifying glass of social media slips through my fingers and shatters at my feet 

I step away from my telescopic mind-
The glass crunches underfoot
I slowly feel freedom falling

Stop searching 
Close your eyes 

See nothing 
Think nothing 
Kill the stress that flows through your thoughts and veins every minute 

See life through new lenses 
Let your mind be detoxed
Flush out those thoughts 

Open your eyes to see yourself for who you are 
Forget what they think 
No one knows you like you 

So you do you and I'll do me 
Take a moment
Step back see your life from a different perspective

Darlene De Beaulieu January 22, 2019 at 1:35 PM Hello Kayla Hill, I do see my life differently. A couple's world. I am a widow and feel alone. I do accept myself as I am. Just don't like the loneliness I feel. Have a nice day my friend. Kayla so nice to meet you.
