Seeing the World In Black and White

I used to see the world
Through black and white glasses
Until my world came
Crashing down upon me and
I realized, the world
Is not what it seems, so
I began to see the world
Through rose colored glasses
I saw crooked lines, curves and
Lines that said, no road ahead
Where being truthful is
Rewarded with punishment or being
Let go from your job
And lies being rewarded with honors
With that being said, believe 
That truth will prevail one day, and
When one door closes
A better one opens
Never give up and have faith
