Reality

Slaps me in the face

Like a jet of cold water from a blue water gun.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndi1DGGbG9

Sounds a little too specific for a metaphor?

Well,

Shut up.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuZTf29r85

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFiqznR4rH

Reality

Comes crashing down around me

As if gravity was destroyed at it's source;

The apple tree.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB9ZO9O0JF

I put this line into my poem

To display my scientific skill...

Reality...

Oh, why bother, who needs poetry anyway?

Why is it so hard to put into words, so difficult to simply say:

Reality bends and fluctuates dependent on our identity and beliefs.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4nI9l0fow

The moment when reality washes over you

Is the moment you lose a part of yourself,

And the part of yourself stolen 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk13eX0RCf

By the very world you spend your life serving

Is none other than childlike innocence.

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzIubKeUnx

Reality

Is just a word to describe what we believe to be true.

If you believed the earth was flat, this to you would be reality;

If you believed that one day, it would rain stars from the heavens,

Then for you, that would be reality.

This is my reality:

People die everyday, yet everyday lives are saved,

The world is not safe for everyone.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdhLf5M9DI

Plants grow, then die, but more life grows from the seeds it planted,

This is the way things are, this is reality, 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XzdHxzljQ

But reality can change.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuNY1jkKEW
