Reality

Slaps me in the face

Like a jet of cold water from a blue water gun.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm4XOwKoic

Sounds a little too specific for a metaphor?

Well,

Shut up.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHY6B0923o

346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJimS46wOP

Reality

Comes crashing down around me

As if gravity was destroyed at it's source;

The apple tree.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lgxOPwzJw

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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwouDYBZ7pK

The moment when reality washes over you

Is the moment you lose a part of yourself,

And the part of yourself stolen 346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmyS6ccxOP

By the very world you spend your life serving

Is none other than childlike innocence.

346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHJL7lXJxP

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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9nzfPMdeq

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

This is the way things are, this is reality, 346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uHuXybw6f

But reality can change.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbiKIoLVSs
