Adjustment Spasm

I had an uncertain diagnostic

that is why I never wore glasses

sometimes my eyes were magnifying

other times they were lessening

the world was cloudy I couldn’t see the pathway

going where my heart was dragging me

 

after a while my disease aggravated

I began to draw back fearing to collide with walls

fighting my way on narrow passages

on each arterial road with one way signs

 

I seldom looked the people in the eyes

afraid to make them smaller or bigger

one day I was left alone

I searched for a long time in the mirror

the sky toppled down over me

like a foggy cataract

I wasn’t blind yet

 

I checked my heart and tore it out

locked it in a glasses’ sheath

each morning I clean it carefully

only in a clockwise direction

 

I’m looking through it on working days

from outside inside

and from the inside outside

on holidays

Sometimes glasses are good and sometimes not...it all depends on how well you want to see. Sometimes a little haze is better...

Correct ! Thanks, Marie.

I also run into walls.

[Cristina Moldoveanu]

Maybe it is better to run into walls than to be lost in the middle :)

[caesarkreshen]

hmm, no I think the walls are there to guide us towards our destination. Running into them is a mistake. Plus it bruises your knuckles or your elbows, or your shoulders.

[Cristina Moldoveanu]

I agree with you, one must be reasonable.
