Listen To Your Mind

Hiding inside 
no room to hide
 not enough space to move inside

 Stay out there
stay fair 
 always beware

 You come in here thinking it will solve everything
if you just stay closed up you won't feel any pain

 Your wrong you'll die in here 
this place is made to operate you out there
 you stay in here it will lead to despair

 Go out there spread the news 
you are to be sharing and bearing win or lose.

We should indeed listen to our mind, but never let it take complete control. One's heart has a big say also. A warm welcome to the Soup to you Virginia. Many thanks for your kind comments on my "Lorena" have a lovely day....:)

Welcome to this site. This is a decent first submission. It could use a little polishing as far as punctuation goes, but I did enjoy reading your work. I know you will like this site and its members very much.
