My eyes see reality
My ears hear the truth
I touch what’s really there
And take in all that has
Been truly spoken.
But before it gets there
In my mind,
It jumbles up with
My hopes, my dreams,
And my deepest wishes.
Although I know all that
Really happens,
I want it to be not so.
I may hear it but I don’t listen.
I may see but I don’t observe.
I may know but I don’t realize.
I block out the truth and
Replace it with what I long for.
Maybe I’m blocking the path for others
But I’m paving a road
To fate and destiny.
