This is a virtual representation inside of your mind Think about that That voice, this image, reality, space and time Our five senses  are the only things we truly know Perspective, perception and persuasion are, therefore Powers we're all bestowed Let me give you an example that will explain what I mean Do not think of an elephant See? Can't be unheard or unseen! Also When I say tree, what do you see? Do you see the same as me? And therefore can it be said that when we see blood We see the same red? Funny really How words can shape what's going on in our head Actually with that said Isn't this all going on differently in each of our minds? And don't these confines then make reality indefinable completely? I think you see a different red to me You definitely see a different tree And this all scares the he'll outta me Because then conceptual ideals like love, trust and reliability Are also prone to this harsh subjective reality So when I say I love you It can never really mean the same to us two When I say you have my trust Is the sincerity of those words enough? And when we speak of reliability Is it enough to surpass associative ambiguity? So like words read upon a page We subconsciously engage in certain powers we may not fully control We shape and mold through our will What we do and do not want to be instilled onto others and ourselves For the rest of our lives Humbling thoughts right? Stop thinking of that for second though And just breathe in nice and slow So? Well you are now manually breathing Before that you weren't really conscious of it though! Makes you really wonder how much we miss, the deeper we go Like what is actually real, and just in our head And is their a really difference as I've previously forsaid? We are getting pretty deep here now But do you think there's further to go? Glad you asked, well, you didn't ask, I insisted ......Anyhow, did you know That if you copy someone's stance Your influence towards them Can greatly enhance? We call this social mirroring. Such a funny thing Don't you think? How much we can tell from Arms crossed, sagging shoulders, or a frantic eye blink And do not under any circumstance, itch your scalp when i say HEAD LICE **** Sorry. That wasn't nice Suffice to say, I am ******* with your mind But not without a point you shouldn't fear I mean, Is this all unsettling to hear? How susceptible you and i might be to our influential peers? It should cause some alarming fright To know that someone out there might Be attempting to control others with thoughts Right? This sentence is brought to you by Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-Cola. Day and night With perhaps insight and upper hand as to how we think and act? Facebook would like to access your personal details, to purely, only, ever, gather public feedback Is the fear we face on a daily basis based on legitimate status of what is really happening? Or perhaps it's the stasis state easiest placed upon a person to instill a certain type of mega-mental social conditioning? ...... Well? What do YOU, truly think? And was that thought yours to begin?! And are you listening yet? Is what I am saying starting to show? And is their deeper you and i can go? It's okay though No need to panic. Whatever you do, do not become manic with and start to fret Do not start questioning every single iota of intent Do not grow an unjust sense of what is on the surface being said And what others really meant This will almost certainly grow unkempt paranoia you will one day truly dread Instead. And Please I beg. instead. Keep this solemn sentence within your head. You. Are. In. Control. Despite whatever comes your way You choose the toll it takes upon you Second by second, hour by hour, day by day Our minds infinitely powerful, with potential to grow Just take hold of that, tightly, and never let it go Let that one seed of wisdom, sink in, and let it nurture and grow And one day Potentially You might just see the same tree as me, mentally Or at least we can mount makeshift metaphysical bridges from these branches Reach out and say 'Hey. I finally see what you see. I get you and you get me' For fear is the sharp saw that cuts down those trees of understanding And what I am asking isn't really that demanding We don't exactly have to agree to see the same blood red But at least one day i hope it can be said That despite it's different hues, it needn't be shed? Cause one day I hope to say 'I love you' And you know exactly what that word meant Just as much as when someone trust's me It was understood as best as can be Because i want reliability to be the biggest tree in my mind And despite fear coming around to cut it down Hope is my dirt, my water and my sunshine Cause really, if we can't understand each other conceptually Where's the hope for this reality? But then, again With all this said It doesn't matter in the end and in our heads Because all of this is a virtual representation inside our minds, right? Our voice, our image, our reality, our space and time Our five senses we all share, are the only things we know But until we understand others It's all we'll ever have to show
