Attitude Adjustment

By liquid_emotion

Simple lives are led best without previous knowledge of wealth
Sickness is easier to take when you’ve never had good health
Laughter is often found when the day is sunny and bright
Yet everyone needs it most once day has turned to night

The levels in our lives will never equal out
But isn’t that exactly what life is all about
So why is it so hard evolving with the changes
Or finding new perceptions to cope with rearranges

I want to find uniqueness on every path through life
Laugh within the darkness, find strength within the strife
I need to see things differently through someone else’s eyes
That I may gain contentment and knowledge of the wise

I really liked the last two lines, one time or another we all long to see life through someone else's eyes.

Great insight. Not what I was expecting from the title; pleasant surprise. Of course it reads beautifully, as do all your poems.

... that knowledge of the wise... your questions have at the least set you on the proper path.
