Epiphany Poem by Kaz Kawasaki

We are not who we perceive to be
And We are not who others think they see
Our lives are secret to you and me
With blank spaces fill our fantasy.
Of expectation bold or cold
From experiences young and old.
But it is quite shocking when we’re told
How others think we fit the mold
“Is that what they truly think? ”
As we stare in mirrors above the sink.
“Impossible” we take the drink
Until we push ourselves to the brink.
Cliff’s destruction truth does make
And now our defiance starts to break
And then we put it all at stake
“Remake your future, proceed with haste.”
