Chirality

I awake from a chiral nightmare
This dispossession of identity consuming me
Drowned by the question of who I am
Lost in disparity between who I see and who I chose to be

Wide awake but still drowning in chiral dreams

Open my eyes in time to realise
The fractured glass upon which my self resides
Distorted by design
Reflected outwards so none see inside
This fractured mask upon which I am defined
Is it even mine

Swimming to the surface my emergence is a vergence
As a coalescence of subconsciousness and my awareness
Brings a current sweeping me away unto the shores of surety
Yet riddled with uncertainty I gaze back to the blackened sea
Out from the void my eyes stare back at me
But hollowed out, gouged by reality's chirality
A shallow manifestation of anything I've ever been

Let the tide break on me to break down my naivety

Stare into the surface of the ocean in the depths of the night
Reflected is the shimmering lights of the stars
A sight to behold
Drown in your vision of the misguided truth that you think you see
But you mistake the reflection for the heavens themselves

Open my eyes in time to realise
The fractured glass upon which my self resides
Distorted by design
Drowned by the question of who I am
This fractured mask upon which I am defined
Is all a lie

The stars on the sea
Are all that we see
In the end
Is deceit

All we see
Is the sea
It is all deceit

All that we see
Is deceit

Breaking the surface, within my emergence
A final convergence of my understanding, as
I open my eyes in time to realise the truth's in the sky
Watch the reflection - an image in flexion, a fatal distortion of all we perceive
A visage mistaken, the truth is forsaken; awareness awakened: reality's chirality
