It’s time to keep my chin up high
Eyes looking up at the sky
Because down there, there’s a crowd
A bottomless pit of non-believers in me
People who think I am insane and weak
People whose own depth of feeling is doubtful
People not at ease with themselves perhaps
In whose hearts compassion has no place.
Look up I will
Walk I will watching every step as I move slowly through time
Life is no race to be run, however short it may be
Sometimes with only myself by my side
The whole world may think I am insane now
But in my own world, I am not
I am strong and there for whoever who cares to have me
In their lives, doing my bit, giving what I can with all my heart.
Tears are not for me, the sympathy I don’t need
Real friends and listeners, I do
The wind finds a company in dry leaves which trees do not need any more
And those leaves go places with the wind
Such is companionship in nature, such is inter-dependence too
May such a wind carry me and
Push me into the realm of freedom.
