Color Blind To Life

Here I go again...
Stumbling over reality, only to fall upon the dream
It seems that, yet again, I've missed the point
And, somehow, some way, still found the answer...
No...it isn't all that easy
But, then again...it isn't all that hard
Still, just to make things a little more interesting
I know that if I try to look, I will not find what is hidden
But, if I turn my face away, it is then that I will see...
I won't forget what I feel just because others don't agree
And I won't ever rule out any far-fetched possibilities
Simply because they are labeled unlikely
NOTHING is impossible--
Though indeed, some things may be improbable
Yet, there is always a chance, an opportunity waiting
But, usually, I will just walk by it, unknowingly
Too caught up in seeking, to actually see...
It is said that things are rarely what they seem to be
I guess that I suppose that that is true
But,it's all in the way I see things, or if I even see them
For I may look at night sky and say it is dark blue
Yet, someone else may look at it, and call it black
And no one's right, and no one's wrong--
We are simply just different
Because sometimes, we all are just color blind to life...
I often learn my lessons quickly, but forget the bigger task
And I never realize until later, exactly what I forgot
Until I trip over it, and fall into something else
Unexpectedly falling, floating, or flying...
And so here I go again---
Stumbling over reality, only to fall upon the dream...
