SOMETIMES, SOMEONE by Becky Hemsley

"SOMETIMES, SOMEONE"
by Becky Hemsley

Sometimes someone’s perfect

Is another person’s flawed

Sometimes someone’s peaceful

Is another person’s bored

Sometimes someone’s freedom

Is another person’s trapped

And sometimes someone’s make-believe

Is someone else’s fact

One man’s trash, they often say

Is someone else’s treasure

And someone’s stormy forecast

Is another’s perfect weather

Sometimes someone’s scars

Can tell a very painful story

And sometimes they’re reminders

Of a celebrated glory

Because it all depends you see

On where you’re actually stood

On what you care to notice

And how far you dare to look

And there is sometimes someone

Standing just across from you

Who from the other side

Can see a very different view

Yes, all the time perspective

Will determine what we find

It’s how the number 6

Is sometimes someone’s number 9

And it is also how

You sit and count your flaws and scars

Whilst to someone just across from you

You’re perfect as you are

*****

Our own beauty and magic is often the hardest for us to see
