Are We Seeing the Same World?

Life!

You see it as black and I see it as white

 

A totally different view comes to our eyes

 

Apparently, we’re viewing a vastly-different thing,

 

and the bells we hear have a completely different ring

 

You don’t understand my views, nor I yours

 

We’re miles apart, behind locked and barred doors

 

Sometimes, I catch a glimpse of you through the trees,

 

but then you’re gone from sight; I’m doubting the images I see

 

We suddenly seem like we’re on different planets

 

This is about as frustrating as it gets

 

It’s like you’re speaking a totally foreign language,

 

I’m trying to reach you while locked in a cage

 

I’m chasing after you waist-deep in the mud

 

The distance keeps getting wider, I’d catch up if I could

 

I keep wanting to wake from this terrible dream,

 

but this nightmare is real, at least so it would seem
