Realistic.....

[... about our feelings]

Feelings are fickle masters
.... they seek to control my life
They tell me that their reality
is all that matters....

Go where your heart leads
I hear them say....
Don't worry about black and white
.... in the end it will be alright!

Yet those feelings are like
a one way mirror....
reflecting back what I want to see
..... No reflection of reality!

The long ago bard
said words oh so hard....
"... to see ourselves as others see us."

And so I struggle day by day
to split myself in two!
.... to step aside and look at me
and see the me of reality.
