I do not live from my eyes
I do not see and crave what I cannot have
I am not a thief that sees others and want what they have regardless
what you have is yours, to keep and with as you like
I do not know how you acquired it, but I'm glad for you
I don't want to steal or damage it, neither do I hate you for it

I do not live from my eyes
I don't know you from Adam or Eve
I do not undress Eves with my eyes, I need intimacy and connection
to even bring you into my thoughts much less my imagination
I'd rather watch some **** than fantasize about a known person
I cannot have that way in real life, that to me is just plain silly

I do not live from my eyes
I cut my coat according to my size
that way I do not steal or demean myself in envy and jealousy
neither do I hate you for what you have, I too own things you don't
I actually congratulate men with beautiful wives for having
good tastes. Yea its wonderful being able to feel good for others
whilst always appreciating what I've the opportunity to own as mine

I do not live from my eyes
I know to own, means to earn to own
Like millions of others all I want are what comes from my sweat
Do not tar me with your brush, your fantasy and drama are not mine
Your viewpoint and expectations are yours not mine to share
From your knowledge and culture I will only take what is real
and true to me. I do not live through your eyes........
