How can one gain an objective perspective on themselves? |
Mirror, Mirror on the wall Look at me, here and now, Look what knowledge may flow through But you’re wrapped in this quest too And the waves of that make your surface unclear So my quest becomes finding another to hear They say the truest mirror is within But they lie, ignorance their sin, The mirror within is subjective, smeared With the juice of self preservation, teared The only way to true objectivity Is through your observation of my honesty. Combination of your perspective and mine Creates yet another which may be unkind But I’ve never cared for keeping feelings safe I just want some kind of knowledge from this date So allow me to uncover a little skin for you, So allow me to uncover a little of myself for you, Then we can throw away all pretenses such as rhyme scheme and courtesy Tell me what you really think Wait, no First remove yourself from your own weight of problems, quests and biases. Smooth your surface so I may see clearly this reflection made in you I will mix it with my own top secret intelligence and find the reality with them both And I I will in return give you the same gift of reflection But then you You will run away. |
