Look
Don't look down
Because when you look down
You see the world from an entirely new perspective
When you look down
You gain the freedom to be greater than you once were
Don't look down because they tell you not to
It gives you too much power
And at the same time weakens you
Humbles you
Don't look up either
When you look up you see the stars you were meant to shoot for
You feel the vastness of the universe crushing your pitiful humanity
And you remember that even atoms have the power to destroy and to create
Don't look up because they say that's the unreachable
And when you reach the unreachable they fear you
They envy you
They despise you
Don't look
To look is to know more
To see the difference between deception and reality
Don't look for if you look their lies will falter
You will turn from blind faith to walk a path of your own truths
Everything becomes a little clearer and they have no meaning
Don't look
Looks can kill.
