Precious People

As I think about the years

There were too many tears

Whatever made me sad

Or even drove me mad

◆

I felt something so strong

Since I was very young

There was always something different

I felt it might’ve been clairvoyant

◆

Moments haunted my inner soul

Afraid I was and hid in a hole

What’s wrong with me I would think

Why in love did I sink?

◆

My heart is breaking that I know

It is true I let the evil thoughts grow

Tortured and distorted they only grew

And day by day no one knew

◆

I can see it all in retrospect

But never once did I reflect

What’s going on inside of me

Was not the quantum of reality

◆

Oh precious people listen close

Try to live! Not overdose

I cannot clear the path for you

Just share my little thought or two

◆

It’s amazing!!! There really is peace!

Let the breath out, that’s it; release!

Let the bells ring loud and clear!

You are now and you are here!

◆

I’m sure we all have harboured guard

Let no one know you struggle hard

The love within the human race

Oh, precious people, it’s not a race

◆

Life is letting matters be

Not running from reality

You have it in you; never fear

You are precious and very dear

◆

All our lives we grow and learn

Mistreated; loved and always yearn

To know thyself can not be bought

Love yourself or live you cannot!

◆

Even when you question you

See all that you say and do

Causes, effects, and emotionalism

Science cannot crack this prism!

◆

So today I challenge all of you

Take some time just for you

Let that other side come in

Open the heart that you made dim!
