POSSIBLE TW!!!

Think happy thoughts
The world around you is how you perceive

You think of someone as a monster
You see their horns and ask yourself
"Why doesn't anybody else see them?"

You think somebody is perfect
You see that they have no visible flaws
So you dismiss the drug and alcohol problems

You can almost never see a person for who they are
You only see them as you perceive

One person asked me if I starved myself
That's how we met
For our entire relationship, she saw me as damaged

Somebody introduced me to someone
Telling that person a secret that we have in common
All we talked about was that secret as a part of her life

My sister tells me her opinions (even when I don't want           her to)
She tells me bad things about people she didn't like
Whenever I met those people, I thought they were          horrible
Almost every one of them wasn't at all what she said

If you never allow anybody to say things about people
Or if you never see something as it truly is
As it evolves
You will be truly alone
You will never truly know anyone

That's why I hate labels
