I wrote this during a night where my mind was full of how society lives in all of us.


Identity

Identity

my life, once so repetitive
so average, so boring
my eyes were shut, yet I saw everything.


But now, so slowly
the lid is eaten away; the norm is torn from under me
my eyes were shut; now I see everything.

I see the pain, the anguish
it flows all around me, washes over me
my eyes were shut; now I see this true society.

My body shows the same wounds
the scars mark me. We are all the same
my eyes were shut; now I see I am the same as them.

How can this be me, I am myself
But what I see is the same as what I view in the mirror
my eyes were shut, now I see we are all society

It is all so clear. We are all the same
For so long it has been this way, it is all so clear
My eyes were shut, now I see no one has an identity

My eyes were shut for so long
But now I know the true society
My eyes are shut, now I walk with my true identity
Society

Sometimes painful....but always liberating truth: we are what we see "out there" or from another pov - society reflects what lies within us
