The joy was not enough to override the negativity in his head

How can two people wake up together in the same life

and see it so differently?

 

Such opposing views

Each convinced

theirs is reality

 

Where one sees joy

The other feels despair

When one wants to hold on tight

The other only sees

No way to escape

 

The joy was not enough

to override the negativity

because he couldn’t see past it

 

To life

To joy

To us
