PIERCE THE VEIL
BY HANNIE MUNDAY & SUITE20SEVEN
PERSPECTIVE IS INDIVIDUAL THE POINT FROM WHICH I SEE YOU AND YOU SEE ME THE POINT FROM WHICH WE SEE THE WORLD AROUND US ME INTRIGUED BY THE PAST AND IT’S PLACE IN THIS MOMENT YOU YOUR VISION IS YOUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE IN MY VISION I GLIMPSE YOURS HOW YOU INTERPRET THE WORLD AROUND YOU AND FOR A SPLIT SECOND THE VEIL IS BROKEN I AM FREE
PERSPECTIVE IS SUBJECTIVE DICTATED BY THAT THIN FILM WE DON’T KNOW WE HIDE BEHIND THE VEIL THE VEIL PROTECTS US AND ALLOWS US TO MAKE SENSE OF THE WORLD IT KEEPS THE BRAIN SAFE BUT THE VEIL IS AN OVERPROTECTIVE PARENT SO INVESTED IN OUR SAFETY IT BLINDS US FROM NEW EXPERIENCE, NEW WAYS OF LOOKING AT THE WORLD AND KEEPS US LOCKED IN A SINGULAR PERSPECTIVE
PERSPECTIVE IS MALLEABLE I SEE WITH MY EYES, I SEE WITH MY BRAIN, I SEE THROUGH MY VEIL MY VEIL IS SHAPED BY MY EMOTIONS, MY EXPERIENCE BUT IT’S A PERMEABLE MEMBRANE AND EVERY NOW AND AGAIN NEW REALITIES SEEP IN AND JUST LIKE THAT MY PERCEPTION IS CHANGED.
