we speak to each-other in symbolism

with common syllables

of how our differences coincide as individuals

we sleep and wonder

if beyond the criticism

that the words that is spoken from our mouths

will be held credible

truth is to be told

said the inevitable

because your real eyes, disguise

your mind can become blind,

numb,

dumb,

broken,

and distorted.

then to realize that those real eyes

told real lies

while you was hoping

so now you’re hopeless.

resort to being cold

though your sense of self

has been thwarted.

as it is easier to crawl following time

feeling that feeling that you’ve been left behind.

its crazy how the dime($)

make you crave the external things

when its really within

that's hungry for more than just having things

less possessions and more progression

less regretting and more accepting

less deception and more perceptive

insight and introspection.
