a simple view

a simple view

first off, this is not a poem or meant to rhyme at all. it may do that inadvertently so just deal. That said, here comes the beast...

life comes kinda fast. some days more than others. feel what sun you can upon your shoulders before the clouds come covering. life can be so sweet and lovely that it makes your mind nearly pop with wonder. don't hold back that feeling, lest you start to reeling, forgetting all that makes you live.


there is joy and sorrow around every corner. i have known each in its own turn and some at the same time. everyone does, in their own ways.


ignorance, i am told, is bliss. i can see the reasoning.


i have cried for joy and wept in silence.


i have never, willingly, suffered my own minds wrath, at least other than that of guilt born from overactive thinking.


i am simple on the surface and complex beneath, like all of us, so i don't presume to understand anyone fully, but i enjoy the challenge anyway.


while some see beauty, others see only withering rot.
where lies that dieing thing, there grows a flourish of new life.
while some see the happening of love, others see the broken of heart.
i have known peace, perhaps because of a simpler view than others.


everyone has their own view of things and no one is wrong, they are just looking at things from different angles.


your perspective is your reality. at least i think so. ;p
