The Annoyance


The way I have seen things

Is not of the same way;

For I have been very little

Yet you long.

 

The time I have seen

Is nothing spectacular

Since I am merely human

I think very little.

 

I act very quickly;

Yet why is it that when

I have seen color for the first time

I don’t wish to celebrate.

 

Do not think badly of me

I am merely human,

but because I am so

I am able to do so.

 

The way that I have seen it so

Is the only way that I can do;

The way that I have felt

Is of only so much knowledge.

 

So do not think too hard

You are merely human;

The world imperfect.

 

With all of us here to do as we please

There will never be a perfect world

That you and I see,

Since we are all merely human

 

We have all had the changes,

Yet why is that bad?

At the end of the day

We have our differences to blame.
