How shallow is your depth ?

Though our minds are shallow we think to depths that echo our cries of pain
as we hurt and wallow in the hope that our pain will be less.
But we move on through life.....numb, blind and deaf to the realities that we 
left out as we dreamt of the beautiful house with the white picket fence.

She isn't your queen or even as hot as she seems
its your heart trying hard to deceive your brain as it screams
"This is not the life of which we dreamed" when we slept on 
the couch the night we passed out clean.

We need to accept that this life has no literal depth 
but the depth that we perceive is in fact our own strength 
and the will with which we embrace what we dream
as a reality and the strength with which we pursue it.

humanity is a play where all of us are actors
we play the roles we wake up in and could easily replace each other but don't.

We walk around acting superior to each other when we know we rely on each other.
We blow up and fill in with the front of aid.
We cut out and patch over with the front of healing.

Words like "SORRY", "FORGIVENESS", "PAIN", "FEAR"
are only signs that our shallowness is still here.
If we had enough depth we wouldn't need to say these things because 
whatever problems they needed to solve would be solved from within.

We destroy then build just so we can accept our existence.
How pitiful is life if we have to make it real.

Lets do good when there's an abundance of good so we can be appreciated for our honesty and truth.
Not create evil and do good so we can feed our pride from the abundance of recognition.

I am not me because of your recognition of me.
I am me because I recognize myself and reveal me to you.

Who are you............?
