Seeing Things
What is the scale of reality?
We all have our own truths
Our own views
How do you quantify actuality?
“A fantasy is a vision
It is solely in your vision
It is envisioned by you
A vision is a fantasy”
But saints had visions!
Politicians have visions!
Some people have double vision
Anyone that has sight has vision
Whether they have a sixth sense
Or no sense at all!
“No!
It is a photograph when it becomes forever
Fixed
It is mirrored when you mirror it
Reflect
It is a painting when you imitate it
Capture it
It is a drawing when you copy it
Catch it
Art is physical
You can touch the abstract
Have it, display it
Own something that isn’t or wasn’t or still is or will be or never was-”
What?!
“It is a story, a poem, a show, when you create it
When you can share it
But it is a vision when you cannot
When it seems to be in everyone else’s blind spot”
What if it is?
You call it a fantasy
But it is not fantastic
You call it a fancy
But it’s not to be fancied
You call it a vision
But it is not my dream
Or in my dreams
What is the scale of reality?!
“A fact is a fact when it is true”
Who’s truth?
“It is a fact when it is undeniable”
There is always an objection
Why, I am an abjection
“It is a fact when everyone can see it”
Some people are blind
Others have second sights or third eyes
“It is a fact when everyone can hear it”
Some people are deaf
Others hear voices
…Hello? Hello?
Where did you go?
Now, I don’t see dead people!
I see the living!
The smiling!
The happy!
The glad to see me!
But nobody else can see them
Is this a problem?
Who has the issue?
What is the scale of reality!?
Can there be an absolute ‘correct’?
Can you ‘fact check’ a head?
Things go beyond what we record!
Art isn’t physical!
Facts aren’t physical!
Some facts are abstract!
And no, no, no!
You can’t touch that!
What if the consensus is insane?
What is insane?
Who defines sanity?
WHAT IS THE SCALE OF REALITY?

Haha, I can't seem to settle on one answer. It still perplexes me how someone can really DEFINE reality and sanity. You both raise good points... definitely something I won't stop mulling over. Thanks for the comments!
