Reality

Slaps me in the face

Like a jet of cold water from a blue water gun.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL7f7SlZ9j

Sounds a little too specific for a metaphor?

Well,

Shut up.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUCnIaqZO8

Reality

Comes crashing down around me

As if gravity was destroyed at it's source;

The apple tree.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Q3u5wmfS

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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sTszqaEyL

The moment when reality washes over you

Is the moment you lose a part of yourself,

And the part of yourself stolen 208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbxLJIho0o

By the very world you spend your life serving

Is none other than childlike innocence.

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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhSmokFWpJ

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

This is the way things are, this is reality, 208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk9VLErhAg

But reality can change.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFX0hoZnWZ
