existimos

we come on earth to die.

we follow the rules of humanity–

use your manners, make good grades

get married,

have children–

and we bring up our children

to do the same **** thing.

 

but who is to say that

this is how we should live?

 

what if my happiness

is your sense of depression?

or if your anger

is my sense of comic relief?

 

nobody is right,

but nobody is wrong.

and that's the paradox,

the altering perception,

that we suffer from,

or bloom with,

as life passes us by.
