Unfinished Shifting Perspective

If I write something and don't finish it I tend to lose complete interest in it... this is an almost written one I am unlikely to return to... Shifting sands, shifting truths Underlying perception When is perception lies Is shifting perception under lying What lays beneaths the truths I share As I share what lays beneath For I am shifting every day A layer may shift the truth I'm not a liar, but I shift So far from this way to that I lose myself, almost my mind Do I lose possession of the facts To myself I change my view Argue what is right and true Is everything up for review A looking glass stepped through Version control, editing at play Edges frayed, bits washed away Stood precisely unsquare How can I lie when I'm so self aware Lock me up, tear up exit code Leave me on the side of the road My brains recesses are mine to own Scratched the surface then left alone

Vacilating perspective as you dig for the truth.Trying to acertain what is your authentic voice and what is the yammering of an interloper .Write it down. Clarity will come as it moves from the nebulous folds of the minds recesses onto the paper it becomes concrete . Another things that make you go hmmm. Dilly.

This is intriguing. It reminded me of some sci fi movie which I can't quite remember the title of ? Excuse my old brain. Shape shifters or something like that? My thoughts are that you are being introspective and weighing all sides of potential truths but I could be wrong.

It was just a jump off a reply to a comment I'd made on another poets work and included the word shifting in relation to honesty. I flip from one perspective to another sometimes in relation to views on past trauma and other matters and it's funny how contradictory things can be true etc.
