      sunny side up

      to live
      we must be able to look at ourselves
      from each & every side

      therefore, we must
      unveil ourselves inside out
      & fold ourselves outside in

      we must look at our office desktop
      turn the up side down
      & flip the down side up

      we must
      put our back side to the front
      & hide the front side to the back

      we must always
      input & output side by side

      to prevent us from
      downfall & backslide

      good thing we must hide
      bad thing put aside

      by all means & all considerations
      jokes aside
      otherwise we will lose sight
      won't be able to sleep at night

      these are moments that I cherished
      captured through my eyesight
      these are my foresight
      whether they are wrong or right

      it's to give you some insight
      on how I look at each & every side

      whether you are on or off my side
      I am not partial & do not take side
      hope that you will keep my thoughts
      during daylight & by your bedside!
