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