A poem with a sharp contrast of perspective.
I see the stars and planets,

That span the galaxy,

I see this wonder in your eyes,

But that's not what you see.



I hear melodic chimes,

Such music to my ear.

I hear such wonder in your voice,

But that's not what you hear.



I see a scaly demon,

In the mirror across from me,

I'm such a monster,

But that's not what you see.



I hear a shredded string,

That many people fear,

That it shall never end,

But that's not what you hear.



I think your hearing's gone,

I think you cannot see.

I think you've got me wrong,

But that's not what you think.
