Psychic Minds

why do i feel trapped inside of life?
i can feel such yearning and strife
a need of something i do not know
i pray for a sign from where to go

i can't talk to any one here(i'm hazy)
they'd only think i'm totally crazy
in my mind i feel such a void
in the past i've only played and toyed

how can i say what i want to say?
they would'nt understand me any way
so where can i gain my release
stop my calling make it cease

i'm not sure that i'd really want to forget
and then for the rest of my life regret
opening my mind gives me such a lift
and i have no right to waste such a gift

so if they want to think and say i'm mad
i'll forget my pride and say too bad
and they may think i'm a total fool
my brain, unlike some i;ll use it all.
