Last night I watched
A motivational speaker
As he addressed me in my living Room
He said:
“Into the TV screen
You peer without fail
But the blurs you call a reflection
Are not really you
And it’s only the glare of the Screen
That appears where you’re staring
And you are only a vague outline
Of a person”
I woke up from that dream
This morning
I realized
Who was really
Motivationally speaking
And now I wonder what my Subconscious
Was trying to tell me
