Perception vs reality

Perception vs Reality

Do the two ever align?

Or do we only see what suits us

To fit life per our own design

~

I am sure we all do it

Look at people with our perception

And what we end up showing

Not an accurate reflection

~

I really try not to take

Anyone at face value

But I’m certain others see me

For what they want to be true

~

It is partly my own doing

I have more to say than I utter

I’ve not been able, or had the chance

To reveal all of my colour

~

Perception vs Reality

Can I get the two to align

Will people see what suits me

To fit life per my design
