Looking Beyond
A space no one can hear you
That room inside your head
A loft of information
Thoughts whirring round in bed
A brain with constant aching
So fearful and so mixed
A mind which keeps on breaking
And desperate to be fixed
To battle hard with darkness
Without seeing any light
Putting on a brave face
Inside a great big fight
A choice not made so lightly
Perhaps regret too late
Making that decision
To take your own sweet fate
We take a lot for granted
Absorbed in our own strife
Racing round like robots
And missing out on life
Look beyond your person
Be kind to those you see
Inside they could be yearning
To share their thoughts with thee
