Viewing Life Through a Lens

Viewing life through a lens,
My mind shot like a bullet going 100 
miles a minute, 
Then the journey begins,
I see the beauty in life,
Things I would miss if God would 
end it,
Things the naked eye may never 
understand,
The blissful moments in life,
I see the kindness in a lion,
The warm heart of a butterfly,
Shattered dreams that never flew to 
the sky,
Like a slingshot trying to shoot a 
razor blade,
Piercing the rubber band,
Like a cracked glass shattering in my 
hand,
I see the maze of life,
Ways to heal the world,
I see the truth of love,
The reason to appreciate every girl,
The things to make a better world 
begin,
Is hidden on the Earth as it spins,
Hidden by a higher class hoping we 
will never know,
But I see the truth,
Viewing life through a lens,
