Rose Tinted Eyes

Rose Tinted Eyes

Can’t see your own delusions

through your distorted view

with your rose tinted eyes

only you can despise

your own self image

The denial of your reflection

runs deep

the lack of respect you show

with the cutting words you speak

and no empathy in sight

you must be emotionally weak

Scarred for life you can’t see me

for who I truly am

you look straight through me

with those rose tinted eyes

Can’t see how you

offend those around you

with your disillusioned thoughts of reality

and your unrealistic demands

when confronted you take a defensive stand

Let go of the control

the dark deep secrets you keep

has sown what you reap

Passing the blame

the conversations go up in flames

as you watch me burn down to the ground

with your rose tinted eyes, only you can despise

I feel the hatred inside

I hide to keep from

losing my mind

how can someone be so blind?

Where is your humanity?

I have found my

inner peace and want

to keep my sanity

So I’m letting go

letting go of the hope

and the fantasy

that you will ever see me

clearly through your

rose tinted eyes
