Double Perspective Poem by Allison Hankins

Why does it rain on those sunny beach days?
Why does running or dancing in the rain always make you feel better?

Why does the radio play sad songs on your bad days when you'd rather be distracted?
Why do slow songs on the radio make the BEST slow dance songs?

Why can't you reach your friends when you need them the most?
Why does it feel good to overcome problems on your own?

Why do you never win the competitions you want to win the most?
Why does the trophey on your shelf look better every time you see it?

Why do you always look at the nutrition facts before eating a chocolate bar?
Why does chocolate never sound bad?

Why do comercials always come on before the juicy part of your favorite show?
Why are your favorite shows always on when you get home?

Why are you so irritable when your lover is just trying to make you happy?
Why does your sweetheart always know how to cheer you up?

Why is everything you want to eat so expensive at your favorite restaraunt?
Why are the specials at your favorite restaraunt always your favorites?

Why do your parents never let you drive their cars?
Why do parents love you and strive for you to earn priviledges?

Why is your favorite thing in the store always the most expensive and JUST over your budget?
Why do your friends always get you the perfect gift cards?

Why do you kiss me when I have no time for you?
Why do you always kiss me at the right times?

Why do you bug me by finishing my sentences?
Why do you act so cute and know exactly what I'm going to say next...? ? ?

Life dishes a lot out at us...it's simply the way that you look at your situations that effect the outcome of your day...good or bad.
