Save Changes To Perspective


They call it going to bed

I call it sleeping under the stars

They call it mentally dead

I call it fighting internal wars
 

They call it talking to yourself

I call it thinking aloud

They call it a short life on the shelf

I call it a reason to be wowed
 

They call it fleeing a storm

I call it dancing in the rain

They call it going against the norm
I call it not dying in vain


They call it wanting to be cheered

I call it needing an incentive

They call it being weird

I call it having a different perspective...
