My self-understanding
Every day I learn who I am.
I am as much taught,
as I assume,
and we know what happens when you assume.
The idea of me
is only an idea to me
and it’s different – and not as ideal --
from how you picture me
Perspective is a funny thing, the way it tricks us
into tunnel vision and living in boxes.
The world screams by, and it evades us,
how simply we could have transcended this.
The truest reflection
is not what you see in the mirror
but the reflection of your reflection.
New perspectives, new questions.
One day, I’ll understand myself better,
and my self-understanding won’t be the exception.
