A New Perspective

A New Perspective

A Poem by shipsinthenight
"

Try looking at things differently. It might change how you feel.

"
The weight of the world is unbearable
And I fight with all my strength
Trying to break the chains
That latch it onto me
I don't want to make the choices
That you look at me to make
And I struggle against the chances
That you force me to take
But when I see me in your eyes
Surrounded by unfaltering Hope
I feel the world settle in
And it feels as though it floats
And I have come to realize
That it is not my world I hold
But the world contained within your eyes
that within my arms unfolds.
