Glasses We Wear

​

We see the world through tinted hues,

A filtered lens we did not choose.

It twists the truth, obscures the way,

And turns the light to shades of gray.

 

We think we see the world as real,

Yet through our frames, it is revealed.

Our past, beliefs, and deepest fears

Can shape the way our world appears.

 

If pain or doubt have shaped our sight,

We see the dark, but miss the light.

And when our friends wear glasses, too,

Their echoes make our myths feel true.

 

But swap the frames and shift the scene,

A world once dull is now serene.

Glasses of joy, of love, of play,

Can brighten up the darkest day.

 

Some wear the lens of life is hard,

Of being small, of feeling scarred.

But change the script, rewrite the past,

And step into a view that lasts.

 

Adventure, wonder, trust, and grace,

A brand-new lens can change the pace.

What once felt heavy, sharp, unkind,

Becomes a dance within the mind.

 

So test the frames you wear today,

Do they uplift or cloud your way?

A simple swap, a slight embrace,

Could paint the world with love and grace.

 

Not all glasses bring us light,

Some control, distort our sight.

We chase approval, wealth, or fame,

Yet feel unwhole despite the gain.

 

True glasses don’t demand a prize,

They shape the world with different eyes.

A lasting peace, a heart so wide,

They’ll fill your life so love abides.

 

So pause and ask, what will you wear?

What hues will shape the world out there?

Choose wisely now, for once you do,

The world reflects it back to you.
