The Mind

This sodden trodden earth I walk along

I wonder to myself do I really belong

This earth that I walk sinks more deep below

How far can you expect one to go

The more I tread this sodden ground

I just do not want to be around

Every step that I do take

A better life for me I want to make

Nasty people within their so called relationships

Peoples mouths move with anger as they let rip

Why cant people talk happy with smiles and content

After all this is what this earth should of meant

Still treading with fear and further deep below

How far more can I possibly go

I close my eyes and drift into a dream

Alone and floating now in heaven it would seem

Wonderful people greet you with arms open wide

Comfort you with smiles and hold you with pride

To be held full of love with no attitude or spite

I want to stay here forever as I know it is right

Suddenly I am left alone to think

Is it me or is it the world that stinks

There before my eyes stands a shadow of stone

Is he here for me or to be left alone

I pluck up courage with fear to say hello

The shadow begins to fade so very slow

Bewildered and stunned I am in a beautiful place

Or so I thought I'm still here in this rat race

Coming out of my wonderful pleasant dream

This is reality so it seems

People are two-faced and so unkind

The sodden earth I walk is not in my mind
