Sinking or Surfacing?
You decide and realize
It’s all about Perspective
Sometime up is really down
Other times they’re switched around
Judgement calls
That’s it, that’s all
Tears can be for happiness
Anger as a motivator
Silence an affirmation
Trust a false construction
Might makes right
Except when it doesn’t
Sense isn’t always sensible
And often lost in commonality
Anxiety leads to energy
Hurt can be the best medicine
Emotional aches
Physical pain
Separate but often the same
Apart in practice or merged together
Trading places while sharing spaces
Observe the boredom
Of a genius mind at work
First glances and second chances
Invisible labels can’t identify
Determinations or amplifications
The stoic ones with all the answers
Profound upon examination
Yet shallow in delivery
Stripes of white on a field of black
Or light shining through darkness
Making a cataclysm
Of your viewing prism
Agitating your stereotypes
Challenging your song and sight
What you see and what is hidden
Window into things forbidden
Every picture has a score
Words counted and often more
A thousand might just be too little
That’s the objective
At least from my perspective
Every mind has a viewing eye
To see things how they want to see
Blurry lines of an aged prescription
Softening of hard convictions
Fight or flight or something else
Where are you in this big scheme?
Pick a side or in-between
Live out loud or sit and dream
And do you care what others think?
Perspective is just a point of view
Not a fact or definition
Simply an opinion…
