water

stepping on the black.
landing in a pile on white.
colored black and blue.

the screen of gray death
thick outside my window pane.
living in real life.

the mind as monster
makes mountains out of molehills.
darkness out of light.

the brave can buckle
thrown at life’s hardest tackle.
getting up again.

critics are lazy.
easy to tear down than build.
babbling fools of hate.

a distorted lens
still lets the light shine on through.
viewer focuses.
