what do i understand now?
the reality of things
as real eyes realize real lies,
i writes these words, tears running down on my cheeks,
as i wear my heart on my sleeve,
please understand that i've accepted the fact that theres no room for me to compete,
claiming that this nigga means nothing to me,
i lie through my teeth,
my hands tremble as i write this,
i've accepted my moment of defeat.
but, how could i have not seen pass this deceit?
as the one who i once claimed became a foe instantaneously, merely a stranger on the street
i cannot bear to look in his eyes, without all his lies pervading my mind, my heart filled with hate,
crowded with anger that my eyes draw red, but i can't even escape to my bed as his presence is everywhere, i see him in everything,
i can suppress but i cannot deny the fact that my memories will always creep in, being sly,
as something that reminds me of him will rewind me back to the times of my ignorance's bliss,
a fate that has now been sealed by Judas's kiss,
as i realize that real eyes realize real lies,
i understand that i was once blinded but now i see,
that the person who was once meant to be my rock, holding me down for infinity,
has outgrown the old and has no embraced the new,
although it makes me feel blue, there's nothing i can do,
besides being renewed.
real eyes realize real lies,
as i was under the misconception that i was concentrated,
i deceived myself by thinking i was isolated, yet i was surrounded by the real lies of my false enlightenment.
what do i understand now?
that enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity.
oh, how real eyes realize real lies.
