Chapter 18 - Today
Today I forgot that my hair was black, and my eyes blue.
Too concentrated on seeking out imperfections to see what's actually there.
-------------
Today I looked in the mirror, and my eyes filled with shock.
I had forgotten who I was, thinking only of who I wanted to be.
-------------
Today I fell while walking down the street.
I only had eyes for my destination, not where I was.
-------------
Today I realized,
We tend to concentrate only on what's wrong,
or what we want.
Is this selfish?
Or is it just human?
