Perspective is a dangerous thing

It tears the world apart.

Though it causes terrible pain

There is wisdom to impart.

 

Do not assume your fellows see the candle as you do

Remember flames look differently to the both of you.

She sees the flame as hell on earth

with fear of fire that kills.

He sees the fire as lust and desire 

sees the flame as fun and thrills.

 

Beware he who is scared to touch the fire 

but lures you to the flame.

though he whispers sweet words he is a liar

who wishes to causes you pain.

 

Perspective is a dangerous thing

It hides the true strength of your heart.

For he may hold the candle

But you make wildfires start,
