lights turn into artistic, flickering splotches
people turn into indistinguishable outlines
words turn into monochrome lines
and the E looks like an F
and the T looks like an I
and the G looks like an O
and the W and the U and the V and the M all look the same
and hate looks like love
details blend into backgrounds, faces blend into crowds, colors blend into each other
then my mind is set free and I get to see whatever I want to see.
I get to be the architect, the artist, the creator.
When I take off my glasses, the world is a little blurry, but I'm not blind.
ive been watching that last gif for way too long now

oh oh oh I love this a lot.
Yesterday I took a walk without contacts or glasses, just like your poem. "My mind is set free and I get to see whatever I want to"
