not so different, by Kalen B.

if everything was just the same,
id go crazy and pray for change.

if night was the same thing as day,
itd be so very dull and plain.

if water was the same as fire,
id lose my interest and desire.

if grass was the same as sky,
id sit in bed at night and cry.

if dirty was the same as clean,
i would never take a bath again.

if food was the same as slime,
id starve for hours and lose my mind.

if everything was just the same,
id shut up and go insane.

id never have a thing to say,
just shut up, and go insane.

i wrote this poem almost jokingly when everything in my house was quiet and my father and i were talking about people who never do anything in life. just sit on the couch.
