Clear Vision

We all have a little trouble now and again seeing things as they really are instead of how we'd like them to be. It is then that we count on friends and family to pull us in and see ourselves through different eyes.

walking through life
step by step
one at a time
pacing yourself for the most part
collecting elements of "you"
through experience along the way
building a self-image
sometimes seeing only what you want to
and not what others view more clearly....
would you see it if you risked
a full two minute auto-focus in the mirror
to check on reality
with your film fully exposed?
Or is it too hard for you to catapult
from the vortex
of your mind
whirling and swirling
with a million ideas
like a vacuum
sucking in the baggage
in eddying circles?
