State of Mind
State of mind
Where do I start
where does me end
I can only ask you, for you are my friend
kindred spirits always meet in the end
what am I if not me
what if I cant be what I promised to be
what if I cannot be free
Stuck in a cell of skin sinew and bone
through the disease, no fault of my own
steadily losing my dignity to a greater degree
what can I be apart from the best me I can be
so pick yourself up and be strong
for yours is to prove the disease's wrong
face it with a conscience alive with desire
and push yourself onwards with gusto to aim higher
you wont beat the condition that ails you
if you let your minds positivity pull you through
and concentrate again on just being you
where does me end
another day I promise my friend
