The Others

“It’s impossible,”
They scoff, they scorn
Thinking that I am not worn
That they have reason to cry
And that I wouldn’t see why

But as I lie awake at night
Giggling with pure delight
Others fight through tears
Writhing and crying for years

Why can’t the others grasp
What is so pristine
What is so perfect

Every day is a pleasure
A light, a refreshment
Something to treasure

Their days bleed together
Melting, flowing
Until years have passed
They, all the while, unknowing

They need to see,
For everything to be clear
Defined and visible
At it’s most sincere

And at that moment
They would see
Pure, plain, perfect
Ecstasy
