face of reality

influential to the understanding
of moving quickly
with one step at a time
slowing me down
i played another game of memory
with me
i wrote a song about learning
having to learn
living in the in between
and it was back to you
questioning the essence of simplicity simply
wondering
what it was like to feel like you
but still be me
wondering
is imitation flattering maybe someone else
before i open my eyes
i find
it's so quiet in the escape from reality
and that understanding takes me
back to reality
the curse seems to be deciphering
between right and wrong
good and bad
seeing the other side of things
and discovering how light
seems to effect affect touch
on a certain emotion
that evokes how i'm feeling
right now
tracing my fingers around the silhouette
of what used to be right there
still is
taking a picture (a black and white)
because i see in color
with both my eyes
you should try to see it
but this is about me
and how falling asleep to
the sounds of noisy streets
seems to be common when i think
about how the world works
and my place in it
(with or without you)
i'm tired and a cup of coffee sounds
decent
