Perception

My personal take on perception, there's a narration on sound cloud by Ryan Prizio http://soundcloud.com/ryan.prizio/perception-poem

A curse of perception, was cast upon me;
Now, all of your wrong doings, I can see,
Everything wrong, even within myself;
This curse, this pain, this living hell,
One late night in the forest dark;
Is where this entire hell first had start,
We heard a rumor, of a beautiful creature;
At first I thought it was curiosity, but it is much deeper,
I felt compelled to go and see;
And myself uncover, this mystery,
This creature, was said to have such grace;
As well as beauty, and power, never seen by any face,
However what we found, was not power, nor beauty;
but a being of anger, hatred, and fury,
She showed us a truth, that filled us with fear;
The fear that left us paralyzed and drowning in tears,
We were all taught to see the error of our ways;
But the others couldn't take it, and died that day,
The truth I was shown, was the wrong in the world;
That knowledge felt like it turned my brain into mold,
I see now, exactly what that creature was;
She was the personification was all that is lost,
Those who felt lost and misunderstood:
All their rage and fear, in front of me stood,
I see now the beauty, in her rage and fear;
Simply misunderstood, and needed an ear.
I see now how broken it is, all of humanity;
You're all so broken and living in vanity,
Your eyes are so broken, and need to be fixed;
So the moment you see me, I'll perform a little trick,
Away with your sight, gone with your lies;
And you'll see life the way I do, without any eyes....
