Sometimes We Think by K.V. Sart

Sometimes we think

Alone in the dark

Reaching for something above

Something big and bright

And then reality creeps in

Sometimes we think

That we love

When we don't

And sometimes we do

When we think we don't

Sometimes we think

Of things existing separately

Creating visions from nothingness

Singular places of ecstasy and despair

Forgetting that all things are together

Sometimes we think

Things are worse than they are

Thinking of only what we want

Not seeing what we have

Thinking only of what we don’t have

Sometimes we think

That life should be this way or that

And instead things just are

Both good and bad

Both beautiful and ugly

Sometimes we think

That nothing will ever be just right

And we convince ourselves

Of what just right means

Getting lost in self-deception

Sometimes we think

Of exactly how we should think

And we try to think positively

But thinking positively alone

Is only plastic surgery to the soul
