Disillusionment

Disillusionment




I am an illusion,
created not by who I am,
but who I become through your perception.

I am a fantasy,
created not by how I act,
but by how active your imagination is.

I am an answer,
created not by how I respond,
but by how you question.

I am a rainbow,
created not by how the crystal is held,
but by how brightly you shine.

I am a reflection,
created not by a mirror,
but by refraction of your mind.

You cannot see, hear, touch, smell or taste
the true essence of who I am.
Nor I, you.
Because we are trapped inside
our illusions.
