Perception

Can you really trust what you perceive?

Or is it simply what you want to believe?

Your eyes only see what you want to see

Blinded by your own desires, you can't break free

You chase after material gain

Thinking it's the key to ease your pain

But in the end, all you have is regret

For the things you missed, the moments you forget

Your heart remains closed, frozen in fear

Unable to let anyone come near

But love is a bird that needs to soar

Don't let your past keep you from wanting more

The world is full of beauty and light

But you choose to only see the dark of night

Your eyes deceive you, painting a false view

Of a life that could be so much more for you

Don't let hate and anger consume your days

Or you'll miss the beauty in life's simple ways

Open your heart, let love be your guide

And watch as your soul begins to come alive

There's no point in placing the blame

For every heart suffers the same

If you lose love, your heart will break

But it's worth the risk, for love's own sake

So let go of the past, and set yourself free

From the constraints of what your eyes want to see

Embrace the beauty that surrounds you

And let love be the lens that guides you through.
