Reality

Slaps me in the face

Like a jet of cold water from a blue water gun.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ntbs3zfgy

Sounds a little too specific for a metaphor?

Well,

Shut up.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR8yOylAox

Reality

Comes crashing down around me

As if gravity was destroyed at it's source;

The apple tree.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wqi4BbIs5

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.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1O6rlCqcC

The moment when reality washes over you

Is the moment you lose a part of yourself,

And the part of yourself stolen 414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKFU9ZEczB

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.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4HWjtqa28

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

This is the way things are, this is reality, 414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybx6hhAgrn

But reality can change.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYC7xo7aWA
