We Don'T See Things As They Are
"We don't see things as they are,
We see them as we are. " -Anaïs Nin
Its all about the perspective
And depending what mood we're in.
When joy is what your feeling
And Lady Luck is on your side
Your more likely to see the good in things
It'll make your smile real wide.
But when life becomes much harder
And things become real rough
We tend to see the worst in things
Being happy is real tough.
We don't see things as they are,
We base it on how we feel.
Our mood effects everything,
And makes things feel very real.
If it's a grey day, or
were are feeling blue
Our answer to, "Good morning"
Might be, "it's only good for you!"
We might see things a bit differently
If our mood is happy and light
Because things are going our way
And our future seems real bright.
How we feel when we wake,
The kind of mood that we're in,
Sets the pace for the day and
explains the quote by Anaïs Nin.
