PERSPECTIVE

Try to disguise who one really is inside.
Image by Sarolta Ban, courtesy of Tess Kincaid of The Magpie Tales
The unceasing glare of eyes larger than life
piercing into one's very soul.
There is no hiding, no refuse.
A never-ending silent inquisition.
Is it real or only in the mind,
our societal superiority complex?
Can one not just be themselves in front of one set
of loving, omniscient eyes alone?

    What you see is what you get... No pretentions. That's the life I always have...

    One is always oneself. No matter what. These piercing eyes make sure of that.

    There certainly is no hiding; those eyes! A never ending silent inquisition sound like torture. Well - expressed

    Nicely done. Wonderful composed poem. With a deep touch ... even in some way spiritual.

    'What you see is what you get' works for me too. No pretentions.

    No refuge from these eyes, that's for sure...

    I'm not sure that unconditional gaze exists. Not on earth, at least.
