Perspective

Perspective

A Poem by Makenna

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.
