The Beauty of the World
you never saw it
the beacon of hope
you retreat behind your Great Wall
scared to see
reality flashing
your legs were weak
to run across the Hanging Bridge
you saw no pair of wings
but the curse of gravity
how deep was your courage
was it like the Mariana's Trench?
yet why could I
fathom it with ease?
you never needed
to writhe inside the box
you were a Pyramid
you belonged to the top
but you remained mediocre
invisible
not too bold to be seen
you kept your head low
though you could be an Everest
you dug your fingers
inside your pockets
afraid to see the scars
and bruises you inflicted
you never realized
your fingers could paint
the beauty of the world
but oh I forgot
you never saw it

I wrote this poem because I was inspired by the song Invisible by Hunter Hayes. The lyrics that keep me moving forward say:
Never be afraid of doing something different
Dare to be something more
