perception

as I grow older I realize life is perspective and my perspective may differ from yours but that’s the culture defining who you are a problem being labeled by everyone is common though what they know is far from knowing the truth ’bout someone and asking who you are is stupid it’s like asking the sunrise are you the sun? and expect anything but ‘art’ or a dad joke ‘hot’ excuse me what answer you expect from a human that every now and then is not what it is used to be but is falsely misleading his true self through subjective selfexamination which isn’t required to be present and answer an unanswerable question

perception perception is how you manipulate people perception is what the definition of a definition is the perception that you have a definition of this and that you are deceiving  – and cry me not that you are believing this bullshit because you see it ’cause you see your life through eyes, not ears and years will still pass by until you hear me but please! perception – you get when she smiles back, you feel her, but you can’t hear because you are in love and the birds are loud believe me you are not here! perception’s just a lens we use to explore the inside world through the world outside and we store our feelings dancing between what’s real and not perception shapes us into the stories we are told translating the input into feelings and feelings into output you are a simple manifestation of the world you live in, a recording of the history before you, and feelings are the captions expressed through words that are kind of silly

I am in love the kind of love that I don’t know yet and oh boy I was in love many times like I fall in love with almost every girl that’s pretty so that’s pretty much everyone but this time … I tell myself that this love is different not because she’s different but because there’s no she it s only me and this love is dangerous it leaves me alone with myself as usual it asks me to behave unusually it is trained to impose other perspectives on me and draw me into a circle but you should have no illusions about what this is meant to mean I am the perception on top of which I built my own worldview

…

so I tell myself how much in love I am but perception doesn’t let me feel it it’s like having sex with a condom you can put whatever love into it but if you’re protecting yourself you’re not feeling

so I tell myself how much in love I am but I am shutting down my perception allowing strangers and haters to define my existence

so I tell myself how much in love I am but you think you are seeing a different version of me right now when you just choose to give me a different definition today one based on your perception and manipulation of your own reality you want me to be who you see me to be I am no different I am no fucking different than what I use to be when you choose not to look. look, your perception drives you inside your head. I know because it has done the same to me. your perception drives you inside your head, its the only world you’ve always believed in so my question is what do you choose to believe in?

amen
