I wanna be somewhere else,
Somewhere nobody sees.

I wanna be somewhere else,
Where I can’t be me.

I fear myself so let me lie,
For it is just too dangerous when I cry.

The knocks on my door remain consistent,
Even so I keep my distance.

I wanna be somewhere else so you can smile,
Perhaps that means not seeing me for a while.

I wanna be somewhere else for my cluttered mind,
It tortures me all the time.

When I get somewhere else write me a letter,
Just so I know everything is better.

You are worth more to me than words,’
Even when my mind is blurred.

Is somewhere a place?
Is somewhere a thought?

I truly don’t care,
Just take me somewhere.

Many strange things in my time I have seen
What I see now may seem extreme
I sit in the garden by a small bungalow
They both stand together, a cat and a crow.
What I see is an unbelievable sight
The cat walks away, the crow takes flight
I return again the very next day
Together they stand in the very same way.
The cat is at peace and so is the crow
They are both too old, and very slow
The crow it stays in the same oak tree
And the cat can no longer run easily.
So within this garden they both now reside
Weak and feeble, yet still alive.
Maybe they've lost the will to ****
Or simply they both have had their fill.
But there is a lesson that is clear to see
If they can live in peace, so can we.
