Welcome to my mind
Do you hear the music?
A place where I live out my life
A place I get lost in song..
There are mirrors here, everywhere I see
myself...I watch myself move, talk, and walk
Sometimes I do not want to see what may
be staring back at me
The countenance upon my face gives
away my emotions
Emotions that I sometimes do not
want to feel
I have tried to escape this place,
but I am caged here until my body perishes
Maybe like a bird that never got to fly free...
That is how I feel inside..
Like a caged bird
With the wings clipped, never to soar
the skies free and clear
That is how my body feels...like a cage
for my spirit
Am I the only one who can feel their body?
The weight of it..the total idea that it is just
a shell of a place where we house our spirits...
I feel so different here in the solace of my mind...compared
to the way I feel when I let out my emotions
No wonder we all act so shy and protected in public
It is really a scary thing sometimes to be vulnerable
and to let people into our lives
By into our lives I mean, how much we really let someone else
into our psyche, into the way we think, or really feel
So many phony faces we carry
So many disguises of well to do...and actually, none of us
have this silly world figured out
I just know if I had a say in how life went, this world
would be a very different place
It would be a world where I would never have to miss my
smile again
Have you ever missed your own smile?
I have and now I practice in the mirror (wink)
So, lately that is what I have been doing inside
of my head...in front of all of those mirrors
Perfecting a sincere smile
