PERIPHERAL VISION by Arrawyn

I once thought I saw a cat behind me
But when I turned around, there was nothing
It was just my Peripheral vision
I sometimes think people are following me
But it is just my peripheral vision

Peripheral vision makes it seem
As if there is a whole other world
That you just can't fully see
I wonder if ghosts and spirits and such
Live there, just out of reach

I am reminded of philosophy
When thinking of things such as this
The paradigm about the monster's nightmare
That we are all just part of a dream
And don't actually live in reality at all

Peripheral vision makes me think
Of Deja vu, things we believe we have already done
Before, in this life, or another
As if these things we have already done
Are just outside of our mind's reach

Peripheral vision taunts us
Only giving us glimpses
Hiding in the shadows
Letting us believe that
What we have seen may be real

What if it is we,
Who live in a peripheral world
That exists on the boundaries
A world that others can't fully see?
