SUNSET RIDGE
I always felt the houses
up on sunset ridge
were not the sort of places
that were meant
for the likes of me.
They had the view
they had the height
they looked down on the rest
they even caught
the sunsets from the crest.
I felt I knew my place
and it wasn't up above
hob-knobbing with the richer folk
that lived a better richer life
up on sunset ridge.
One day I was watching
the sunset from below
and I realised that I could see
the sunset's light
with an even better glow
than those above
who were blinded
by the intensity of light
and then I saw that all along
that where I was, was right.
I'd told myself
that they were more than me
my own perception made me think
that sunset ridge
was a better place to be.
Now I know there is no us,
or them, up on high,
there's only what we tell ourselves
that we deserve
because of how we feel inside.
