Eyes wide shut

She asks "Why don’t you open your eyes?" and to that I replied "To see what?" At that point I had seen all I needed or cared to see. What was the point of indulging in another moment of clarity, another awakening? Every fact that I had viewed to be one had changed more times than I care to mention throughout my life. Each day was made anew with the demolition of the pillars of wisdom that I had spent my entire life leaning on and using as a support or crutch, rather. How could one live his entire life with his eyes closed, not blinded but closed, willfully choosing not to see what lay plainly before his face? Having the option to view life as it is and deciding not to and then going one step further and creating an alternate view of things and claiming it as truth. 

"Open your eyes" she says, and to that I reply "I’ve already seen too much".
