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
