Rose Colored Lenses

Writer's picture: Celia KingCelia King

Life can be so draining,

even more so when my heart is full of love.

When the only sunglasses I own

are tinted with rose, even

the hardest of hearts

somehow look soft.

But just because

my vision is x-ray,

peering deep within,

does not mean that I am

destined to examine

every broken soul.

When the world looks beautiful

so do its inhabitants

leaving me no choice

but to give and give.

Though it brings great exhaustion,

great joy indeed follows.

How can I explain this

to those who love me,

but do not understand?

I will work hard to be

more careful with

my energy,

but I cannot change

what is inside of me.
