Smudge On The Eyes
when there is smudge on the eyes
a distorted lens that discolours everything
one cannot see themselves
situations
or others
as they truly are
and…
in order to cope with that misperception of self
of the illusory other
of what is actually going on
(and the discomfort that arises from a truth one cannot own)
one projects what’s false
and deflects what’s true
effectively ‘protecting’ the illusion
while convinced that it’s truth
