Mind's Eye

And therein lies the problem
we cannot let perception
our perception 
supersede reality
what we see
isn't always what's there
just because we have eyes
doesn't mean we have vision
even if we're so sure
what we're seeing is real 
our eyes have lied before
maybe we're seeing 
what we really want to see
and therein lies the problem
our thoughts can betray us as well
by having their own agenda
creating this alternate reality
where everyone gets hurt
and I mean everyone
we cannot let perception 
our perception
have an agenda 
it must instead have vision
and therein lies the problem
