Reality Reversed

Reality Reversed

What if the “light”,
Is the lie?
Trying to gloss,
Our tearful cry,

And maybe the dark,
Often seen as bad—
Reflects a truth,
We knew not we had,

It’s weird, I know,
We can’t see in the dark,
But often true light,
Blazes through— a spark,

And in this darkness,
We believe our own mind,
Until the light’s turned on
And makes us blind,

I’m sorry, it’s odd, I know,
But really, I feel, it ought to be said—
That the real truth comes
From inside your head.
