My Greatest Weakness

Poem by ink

 I was born with eyes

 

But my entire life I was blind

 

And I could only see what people wanted me to perceive

 

Telling me when to walk and breathe

 

It was a trend you see

 

Blinded by the ambitions to achieve

 

I was so young and naive 

 

But it wasn't until I realized 

 

My greatest weakness 

 

Would lead me to be free

    When you look deep into others eyes you can see what they really mean.

        Me greatest weakness is trying to sing, so I say! lol. I've had Lesson 4893763204 now, but it makes no difference. I dunno why me tutor is laughing up his sleeve. Well, I have to pay him for each lesson, and he tells me I'm doing really well! heehee. He says I only need another 5 million lessons. All this is fiction - I hope! lol

        Brilliantly done and so true, the only real battle is to keep the beauty we once saw in the world before the conditioning begun..... Maybe that's the journey to return back!

        Thanks again for sharing!
        Much peace and respect

        wonderful, its those simple truth's we mined from within that clear the mists from our paths of choice and realised self-worth,
        thanks for sharing
        Happy New Year
