LENSES





I struggled for too long
Being who I wasn’t
Fitting  my circle into other people's 
perfect squares -- into all their
expectations for me
Their perception was all that mattered
What they will see and say
Their standard for success and achievement

I showed up acting who I wasn’t
Like a dancing monkey
under obligations to perform magic
To gain their recognition
and affirmations
for being who I wasn’t
Against being Me

I broke the chains and gained freedom
the day I stopped looking at myself
through other people’s lenses
because I discovered
people wore lenses
tinted and shaded to suit them
not Me

WHO EXACTLY

Housed in a container Moved in it Identified by its aesthetics But sometimes lost in it Who exactly am I the container or the content
Sometimes I try so hard to figure exactly what it is about this combo Sometimes complicating other times compelling sometimes conflicting other times cooperating
Influenced by the countless conversations with  the inner and the  outer the seen and the unseen the known and the unknown Then I discover It goes beyond this container there is something about content
As adorned as this container maybe embellished with so much beauty the content remains the substance that give it credibility Beyond the container that interacts is the content that keeps the flow is the content that leaves  memorable impacts
