This is something i wrote in a time past. It's funny, I come across these all the time, writings i did in the past to get things off my chest. I want to share this one because i think it's fun to read... maybe you will too.

Altered by Perception

humans are amazing

with our delicate threads of relationship

sustained by balance

a balance determined by perception

an internal “sense” that is subjective

how often are we unable to make the first move

because perception says the scales are tipped in the wrong direction

i’ve learned morals are most elusive

take my gray… separate it into black and white

and i’ll show you the line you exist on, one foot here, one foot there

i’m on the tight rope

so is he

maybe we’ll keep testing the balance

focusing on each other ahead

to one day meet in the middle

all that is truly between here and there is time

…and perception

i feel as if i'm standing inside a solitary moment with no end,

yet outside this moment time is rushing by at a daunting pace

it’s just time, the reality and the perception

i have so much altered perception and no perspective
