    <description>&lt;P&gt;The darkness inside my head&lt;BR /&gt;
It’s not black like darkest night&lt;BR /&gt;
It’s more like looking through a really dirty window&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Hey there how many times have you on the outside passed by that dirty window?&lt;BR /&gt;
Why did you not take the time to try and see inside?&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
What a wasted journey life would be if you haven’t shared some of the darkness with&lt;BR /&gt;
people like me.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
The light creeps through the spaces the dirt doesn’t cover&lt;BR /&gt;
Although I am often in the darkness I still see.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
So many times they pass on by&lt;BR /&gt;
Mindlessly moving through their shiny days&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Come on I dare you&lt;BR /&gt;
Come in and see what life looks like from the inside with me&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Am I stupid?&lt;BR /&gt;
Am I bad?&lt;BR /&gt;
Neither really - just sometimes a little mad&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
I always used to feel sad&lt;BR /&gt;
The way people are marginalised because of who they are perceived to be&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
But no more sadness for me&lt;BR /&gt;
The finger pointers, the judges, those who think they are superior to me&lt;BR /&gt;
What a waste of your time&lt;BR /&gt;
Because you missed the beauty you would have seen&lt;BR /&gt;
Had you taken the time to look through that dirty window&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Too late now&lt;BR /&gt;
I won’t let you see&lt;BR /&gt;
I’m coming into the light&lt;BR /&gt;
And no longer do the finger pointers, the judges and others like them matter to me&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
I am Queen of my own mind&lt;BR /&gt;
The ruler of my life and how I want it to be&lt;BR /&gt;
My mind is a roaring Harley on the open road&lt;BR /&gt;
The pretenders don’t see&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
For those that truly matter thanks for still riding with me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey &amp;nbsp;DollyTee&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I wanted to say hello to you, and give you a welcome hug.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There is a lot of people in here who live with anxiety, so you are not alone. You also seem like a deep thinker and are very good with words.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I wanted to know, if you feel like you are watching life from the sidelines, but not really participating in it ??&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Anyway just sending out a hug&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Shelley xx&lt;/P&gt;</description>
