Spectacles

I got prescription spectacles today.
They landed so softly,
frame matching mine.
I was over extatic about diminished headaches and misperceptions about me having small eyes.

Upon their arrival I saw myself clearly.
I saw my lack of consistency.
My lack of commitment.
My poor communication.

I saw how paralysed I become in the face of truth and how shocked my face appears when my deepest thoughts have been discovered.
You see,
you can do anything and everything to disguise yourself but
your energy will expose you.

I was thought to deserve spectacles not because my vision is impaired but because the muscles around my eyes found it difficult to focus.
I missed what was right in front of me due to what was in my peripheral view
