How I See

Through these brown and hazel eyes
I see reality in a challenging
Way
Aspects of my life in various colors
Blinding me with rainy rainbow
Rays
My mind overwhelmed with multiple
Mazes-always looking for a straight
And narrow path
Seems like days but still nothing,
I reach deep inside myself to pull
Myself back
These colors, these mazes, have haunted
Me for over a decade
Just once I would like to see what others
See and not be afraid
Red, orange, yellow, and green-
these are just some of the colors I see
They change depending on my mood
Sometimes I think I would, but I wouldn’t
Change the way I see my reality if I could
For how I see-people think I’m demented
Is it really that unacceptable to be
Conflicted?
Are we that ignorant in society we
Can’t see good in different?
 
Sometimes life isn’t kind to me
But I move past all the snares and glares
Because in me is vitality
