Our minds are not built to perceive reality

But a constant swirl of emotions and thoughts

Steering us away from perceived pain and towards salvation

Bifocals minimizing our worth, intensifying fear

To get out of this sad hole, we build

Our bodies, our stuff, our families, our companies 

We build to right the wrongs only we see within ourselves

The bigger the distortion, the grander the ambition

If we could only see and accept that we are human,

that we are born worthy of love just for being

If we could feel our worth by just feeling

Society would grind to a halt, and we would all starve
