I See What You Don't Want To

Author's note: This was inspired by the book “A Mango Shaped Space”.  I have never read it, but I know that a girl has Synesthesia and she sees differently than everyone else.  This piece is about how a person feels like no one feels or sees the world as they do. Everyone thinks they are different or even nuts just because they see things in a different perspective than they do.

You see clouds in the sky

I see free souls with personalities and stories

You may see a gray sky

I can see a rainbow

You see the sun
I see a new start
You see a broken heart
I see how to fix it
 You see the tears streaking down their face

I see an emotion
You see a flaw
I see their talents

You only see a streak of paint

I see the start of a masterpiece

You see what it appears to be

I see what it really is

I dig deeper than you do

You only cut at the edges and just peer at it

The world is to be explored of its ideas

Mysteries and wonders can be uncovered

If you see differently
