Perspective

They say it is warm

so why am I cold?

They say it is sweet

so why does it taste bitter?

They say life is happy

so why am I sad?

They say it is light

so why does it look dark?

They see rainbows

I see the rain.

They see healing

I see the pain.

The see life

I see the trouble.

They see achievement

I see the struggle.

I see escape

they see words on a page.

I feel confusion and sadness

they interpret it as rage.

My world and their world

opposing ends of the spectrum

Forever traveling

in opposite directions.
