What I found

I thought I lost you, but really it was I who was lost. Blinded by temptation, by greed, by fear. The world told me it was not meant to be, so I closed my eyes and soon I couldn't see. You had disappeared, and why shouldn't you. I had spent all my time pretending you away. Denying your very existence. I had hoped and wished for something different so that I could be like everyone else. Not realizing that I was giving up the the core of me, the very best you see. But temptation caught me, it played me a fool. And I allowed it, I let it and even welcomed it. I'm ashamed at how easy it was, giving you up I mean. By the time I woke up and realized what i had done, by the time temptations glass promise was shattered and shown for what it was. You had disappeared, and so I set out to find you. I started first by discarding my rose stained glass and saw the world for what it was. Oh what beauty, what ugliness, happiness and sadness. Then I opened my ears to the sounds of the world. And listened for the first time, I listened to the birds, the breeze, to man. And realized that now I must now break out of my clothed prison. I must cleanse away the idea's of this societal condition. So I walked into the forest of the unknown, with open eyes, open ears and a freed body. Certain that now I would find you. But still something was a miss. What was it I wondered, what was this thing that I was missing. And as I pondered, by the lake, my tongue became loose and my thoughts fell from my lips. I had spoken the truth, and in my shock I glanced down, ashamed at what I had done. Why did I break out of the mask, Why had I dropped my act. Expose my self to the world. And to my shock, their on the lake, staring back at me was you, was me.
