[hometext] => We all see the world through lenses of our heritage and experience, sometimes they are wrong and sometimes they are right...but often it is better to hang on to them for they define what you are. Not everyone benefit from removing those shackles...
[bodytext] => I have thought I'd be better off to discard the baggage of my emotions being a man of cumbersome thoughts ladened with fantastical and silly notions Seeing the world through heavy lenses of prejudice, pride and bulky preassumptions oh how I thought I'd be better off to shed my many weary burdens Often I see these burdens as weights that slows me down and weigh my steps they make me wary and weary my feet causing those stumbles and troublesome slips Thus this awesome feat I gingerly start to unburden a soul and a vision to enlight discarded was the shell that covered my heart and removed were the lenses from my sheltered sight Alas how bizarre it all could be that it was such an irony for all to see such bulky burdens and weighty lenses were indeed a boon instead of cursed legacy Now that I have them not, I see why they I have got sharp ended emotions do people cruelly wield truth brightly blinding the eye is truly fraught my burdens were my armor and my lenses were my shield Oh how now I long for what I have lost those burdens that held me up, the lenses that helped me see if only I have known how this would play out if only I could have trusted more in me.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
