Perceptions askew, world torn apart What was once in the light, now in dark I can feel the anguish, the pain, the dispair The sunken looks of disdain brought on by misery, hearts and hopes in need of repair Stand my ground and let it be... The time will come for them to see It's not my place to change their view Compassionate stance when my colour turns blue I am lifted up to another height inner seeking of others with same horizon in sight
