Reality For Me

Just what is reality?
            Is it what I think I see?

R arely sure of what I’m seeing
  E verything perceived differently
    A wareness of my surroundings
      L earned acceptance of what is
        I n thoughts we share the world
          T ruth is of your individual belief 
            Y esterday may be all that’s real
