Have you ever,
Found something hated,
And love it?
Have you ever,
Seen something forgotten,
And memorized it?
Have you ever,
Seen something disgusting,
and thought it beautiful?

I have.

I've seen things,
Hated, forgotten, and disgusting,
And seen them as,
Loveable, memorable, and beautiful.

Have you?

It's not that hard.
Just look for what,
Others cannot see.
And cherish every second,
that you see of it.

While on a car ride, I saw all these amazing sights, that no one probably stopped to notice.
