Flawless Behind the Veil


There are 7,289,823,512 people that I'm-

stealing from, sharing with,

against, along,

trying to please.

 

Under my veil, I say-

see me, like me,

care about me, get me,

understand me.

 

And then you don't-

I finally realize

you can't.

Your veil is in the way.

 

The sky is blue without you

saying it is,

appreciating it.

I am the sky.

I am flawless.
