Life as I perceive

What is black, always may not be coal tar.
Every driver may not ride a dazzling silver car.
Sometimes the reality is very near,
but other times, Its just too far.

Sometimes the eyes shine and hide the deadliest fear.
However much you express something, they just may not be clear.
Sometimes the victim of misunderstandings, is someone, just too dear.

At times you walk the road, you never thought you would.
And at times you excel where, you never thought you could.

Not always, not just sometimes, The echoing sound of cheers,
Hides behind it, the silent but endless flow of tears.

This is life as I perceive.
With you as long as, In it you believe.
