unparalleled perception of the world
a poem
why do you deprive yourself
of seeing my unique point of view?
you know you will benefit from it
no matter of the way of looking at it?
yet most of them are sure
they don’t want to mix with rarity
my choices were planned a long time ago
whether I wanted to or not, there was always a rasp
the path was uneven, full of brush
I often had to separate the wheat from the chaff
unaware if I will finally make it alright
and if is there any reward
it’s always been in my eyes
rare sparks took me to distant and unknown places
where no one wants to travel
yet it all happened
through my fault or no fault of mine
amplified by minds
desiring to square up their schemes
yet the only harm they did was to themselves
not realising they were feeding me
to the point where my soul can live and flourish
into the petals of the rarest flower to feel
unparallel energy buzzing inside
similarly
to their screams outside
I wish I could show them now!
