When I read or write
I see and feel things differently.

like a water fall
into a cist pool
of abstracts

only mirrored
can you see
the true reflection I see,

How many colors do you see
when you read?

Try forcing a square
into a round hole,
or see the sky,
a blanket of wonders
as the only thing
that makes sense
with its diversity.

Can you feel the venom
of frustration
feast on self-esteem
leaving behind
a shell of doubt?

Is it a learning disability,
to see and feel things so differently?
