Rose Colored Glasses

You don your rose-colored glasses, blurring reality's vision. And see what your eyes want to see, ignoring the sight of beggars. To disguise life's uglier side, you don your rose-colored glasses. And focus your sight straight ahead, as though you were wearing blinders. As you weigh alternative truths, your heart so much wants to believe. You don your rose-colored glasses to camouflage anguish and fears. Seeing only dreams and wishes, reality escapes your view. And when traversing rough patches, you don your rose-colored glasses.

Your truths are impossible to deny in this one, Emile. I finally wised up and threw my rose colored glasses away, and I've never seen the pot holes in life more clearly. A very insightful write...pun intended!
