if; all that glitters is not gold,
how come my mind and brain
deceive me?
what differentiates between reality,
and fantasty?
what if because it glitters,
i wish for it to be gold?
who decides that gold is valuable,
and glitter belongs to the
depraved?
Me? You? Society?
Me.
words are arbitrary,
each and everyone of us assigns our own meaning to
everything we encounter.
so why follow the definitions that others set?
two roads may diverge in a yellow wood,
but that doesn't mean you need to take
either path.
you were given two hands
to pave your own way.
