The Shallow Depth of Deep

I just realised my eyes were opened
To a reality they have been seeing
Still not knowing what to do
About something I know am doing

And delving into a serious depth
On a surface so deeply shallow in the deep
It marvels me beyond a memory in a flash
But still I see what I see with my eyes blind to the clearly obvious

Tell me what it takes to stand out
And I will show you a lonely road out
Tell me what it takes to have great ideas
And I will show you how crazy wonky you could seem in my eyes

Its a lonely road to the platform of greatness
But its funny how obvious you seem from the top
They only see a tip of the iceberg
But can never see how deep you went down

The deeper you go in the depth of a height 
It becomes so high in the deep,
The higher you go in the height of a depth 
It then becomes so deep in that height
