Society

My self portrait shows no signs of me
no, not like this mind I know inside of me.
Tied tight to their false sense of insecurity
People don't want me to feel so free.
Corrupted by the world outside their lives,
Living free's not as as easy as it seems.
I can see their fear creeping up on me,
so I stop. take a minute. then breathe.

I look up and ask God to please help me.

Looking up I realize that nothing I can see.
Blinded by the night, it's too black for me to see.
Afraid I'll be the change that one cannot foresee
The world of fear has grabbed me by my sleeve.
In times like this I know I must find my inner belief.
I turn to my mind saying 'dig deep inside of me'.
The fire from within lights bright so I can see,
My path is set out right in front of me.
