Your World

Your World Your world is a place that is small With bars to contain your rage With distance between us I look upon you As you wither confined in your cage. Your world is a place that is dangerous You must always be on guard to fight The hater and critic of the daytime hour Become the killers of your dreams at night. Your world is a place of many battles You must find the strength to win If you become strong and just play along They won’t see your suffering or sin. Your world is a place of confusion You must sort it out and get clear With a lifetime amassed of regret for the past Your head drowning amidst all your tears Your world is a place of illusions That everyone else has enough But the love that you lack has been holding you back You pretend you don’t need it, you’re tough Your world is a place of choices Where you can choose to face your fear And walk with head high with no need to lie Not afraid to show others you care. Your world is a place of karma That is filled with an abundance of wealth With nothing to prove, you walk in your own shoes As you learn to reinvent yourself. Your world is a place of miracles But you must have the eyes to see That when you let others in, your new world will begin Through their love you will learn how to be. Your world is a place of your making If you trust, you will never again fall And without any doubt, live from the inside out And never again will your world be so small.
