Open

Today I decided to open my eyes  
My brain took a part  
All hopeful, obliged
Sanguine as it was to be woeful, demised
Here too joined my heart  
And my soul, we combined  
But I wasn't met with scenes so serene  
Though it seemed like it would be at peace  
You would think  
No, I opened them shy at a world  
So confused  
Loving what they lack while they  
Practice untruths  
But their practical use  
Produced colors, not greys  
And my black and whites  
Weren't so far away  
It felt so familial, the dreams of that day  
So I did what I know  
And wished them to play  
The veil on our eyes then lifted and cleared  
We saw the things we despised  
Were really the things we hold dear  
I opened my arms to embrace, pull them near  
And stayed patient while the
Ancient tomorrow appeared
