A Change of Perspective

How do you know if your world has crashed?
How can you tell one thing isn’t right when all of it is in disarray?
You need a frame of reference,
One thing to measure it by
One thing that stayed as it was, that didn’t crash
While everything around did…

But you notice not what stayed,
All you can see is the chaos,
All you worry about is what’s not there anymore
What can never come back…

It takes but a second to catch your own reflection
Off of some broken shiny object
To make you realize that you are the one thing that is still upright
The only thing that remained
Intact, if only by appearance…

It takes several moments more
For you to realize there is only one thing to do
Try and resuscitate whatever can be
And to clean up the mess the rest made

And as you try to start to do so
And fail at each attempt,
Just as you are about to give up,
You realize all you need is a change of perspective
All that crashed, was you
Everything else remained just the same as before


The biggest of problems seem minuscule when a new one comes along...
Expressing the only way I can...
