The Way You See Things


Negate the positive
thy toil in life
to see the badness
in rift and strife.

Oh such changes
however pure
impress you not
for there is no cure.

A glass half full
is no good to see
it's always half empty
you won't let it be.

The fondness inside
of people galore
pick up the silliness
no space for candor.

Thy smile I see
is fake to the brim
for your vision has
no light, oh so dim.

For each around you
is a person so rich
so bright a spark
you extinguish the wick.

So life is full of bounty
of candor and glee
yet your vision is blurred
one direction to see.

Not all around is bad. There will always be something good, one just have to see through it.

  1. Yup yup! There's a lot of goodness in this world. And even those we deem as bad may have some deep story behind.

    I usually tell myself. Be kind, for everyone must be fighting a hard battle. A little kindess usually brings out the good in the bad.

    weeeeeee! *peace out* :P

  2. I wrote this poem for someone who sees not the light but the darkness in everyone.
