Gaze

Taking up the vision of the blind.
Leave the mission at the center of your mind.
She doesn't have time for rivals or friends.
A movement that never ends.
It's impossible to see past the illusions.
Closed space with little intrusion.
She's averse to criticism, immune to praise.
Cold and dead behind her gaze.
