Abstract Person
Maybe I’m just an Abstract Person
Maybe I do not appear sane
Who is to know
The workings of my weird mind
Maybe I appear different than I am
Maybe people do not really see me
Who is to know?
The workings of other people’s minds
Maybe I do not see the real people
Maybe I only know the façade
Who is to know
What other people wish to show
Give me Time
Give me time
Time to live
Time to breathe
Time to be free
I need the time
Time that is mine
Time to laugh
Time to cry
All the World
Needs their own time
Time to one self
So I need time
Give me the time
I need time to be me
View the World
View the World
Through many different angles
Watch the World
Through many different eyes
Try to understand the World
Through many different minds
See the World through many different perspectives
But always remember
That you can never
View the World
Through every angle
Watch the World through everybody’s eyes
Understand the World
Through everybody’s mind
Or see the World in everybody’s perspective
You will always miss
Something
Beauty Inside
Look at Me
You may not like what you see
But look again
This time look into Me
Look into my heart
Now what do you see
A beauty deep inside
Waiting to be free
Suns Up
The suns up
The day’s alive
But I’ll survive
Time and Life
Time is Life, Life is Time
Guard your Time well
As you would guard your Life
Time is a precious thing
As Life is a precious thing
The World revolves around Time
And Time revolves around the World
Time is the spirit of Man
And the spirit of Man is Life
The Past
Don’t dwell on the past
Thinking about the many things
That you did in your life
But could have been different
Because life goes on
Mistakes can not be changed
And the past will never return
So go forth unto life’s mysteries
Because the future is there
Ready for you and me
Leave Me Be
Everybody cannot be perfect
So don’t pressurise me
I’m not perfect in anyway
So leave me be
I don’t need to be like you
I don’t even want to be like you
If you don’t like me as I am
Then leave me be
Take me as I am
But don’t change me
I don’t want to be changed
Please leave me be
So I’m not perfect
Does that really matter
But I’ve had to accept me
So why not leave me be
You work hard to change me
But do you really need to
What can’t you accept me as I am
And leave me be
I really need to be free
Of all the contrasting people
Who want me to be like them
But I ask leave me be
I’m not a sheep
I don’t want to follow anyone
I want to be an individual
So please leave me be
Painful Romance
I’ve never been in love
But neither have I had
The pain in my heart
I look around at others
Suffering for romance
Do I need that
Can I survive without it
Will I take love if it comes
Will I turn it down
I know not yet
But I can only hope
When it comes
I shall be lucky and find
I have a painless romance
Time is eternal
Time is eternal
It does not expire
It is a constant
Never changing fact
The day can seem fast
The hour could creep
The minute can be agony
A second so sweet
But no matter how time
Appears to fly past
It is a constant
Never changing fact
Sit and Think
I sit and I think
About life itself
What is life for?
What am I here for?
There is no answer
To what life is for
But I am here
To live my life
I didn’t mean to be alone
I didn’t mean to be alone
It was not my intention
The time passed me by
I did not see it go
The days seemed so long
Yet the years raced by
And before I knew it
This was my life
I didn’t mean to be alone
But I can survive
Need
I need to be loved
I need to be adored
I need recognition
For all that I do
Yet still in all this
I need to be alone
I need to be in silence
Left on my own
To wallow in my sorrows
If only I could achieve
The balance in my life
So that I could be me
