IMAGE



Images and illusions
Uses as masks
Hiding true objectives
Present in most but relative

Image and Real
Dividing line
Very sublime
Doing fine

Image projected outside
Against self inside
Reality and Creativity battle
Self actualization only way to settle

From the real
Projected the fake
Schizophrenic nature at stake
Correct before it's too late

Mirrored outside totally false
Image actualized the task
Mirror broken image shattered
Motives exposed illusions
Evaporated

Express yourself honestly
Oneness in personality
Delving deeper into the self
Find out more about yourself

True to self
Expressing inner self
Gains self respect
Nothing to detect

True to image
Character gets damaged
People easily read the message
Never too late to carry out the change

Point of Spiritual insight
It will hit itself
By itself
Only the self
