We are all different
None the same
So who are we
To judge insane
To see the world
Through different eyes
The things you’d see
Such sweet surprise
Describe a colour
With my senses
Feel freedom from
Enclosing fences
Built by peers
Sane and normal
Doctors probing
Pills and potions

Rank bestows entitlement
So those with power think
To push around the lesser ones
Their right it is believed
But if we all just stand up to them
Don’t cower when they speak
Show them that we matter too
Power to the meek

I’m angry
But why
The world
It’s hurting
We cannot
Stop it
Unless
We work
As one
To end
The suffering

How deep does the pain go
Let’s cut down and see
Watch how much the the blood flows
Like life out of me

How long will the tears flow
Will they ever run dry
I am so surprised
That I can still cry

How far does my love get
Does it reach to your heart
Mine breaks every moment
That we spend apart

What age will my life end
I hope long from now
To watch my kids grow up
And make me so proud

Bound, broken, bleeding
I lay there at your feet
You ask for what you need
But your eyes I cannot meet
I fear that I’ll disappoint
And that makes me pull away
I want to bear my soul to you
To show how I really feel
But even after all these years
I feel you might turn me away
Before my chances dwindle
And the time all disappears
Please know you are the only one
I could have given all my years
If there is nothing else to know
I hope you already do
I love you with all my being
And will forever more

I wonder at the universe
So vast, empty, cold
And realise it’s easy
To feel so all alone
We are all just a tiny dot
Living tiny lives
Insignificant to the universe
Just as tiny flies
So while we live our little lives
Try to make a big impression
So you will be remembered
For a few more generations

How many voices in my head
You are not worthy one has said
Another just wants to be dead
I listen not to these

One says that no one is like me
That’s just because I’m crazy
I’m trapped in here never to be free
I listen not to he

Another says he is a friend
But whispers to me it’s the end
No more he thinks my life should wend
I listen not to him

But in the clamour and the buzz
I here a voice that says I’m loved
I think it comes from heaven above
To that I have to listen

My struggle happens day to day
For love is why I kneel and pray
That’s why I know I’ll be okay
I listen just to me
