i have made people laugh
made them cry,
affected them,
deep down inside

there is a darkness within me
a darkness which is in all of us
a darkness that you are scared of,
because one day you fear becoming it

the way they interrupt
the way,
they pay no attention
and the way they can be so abrupt

you would understand
pick up the pieces
guide the spiritual hand
if you were here

lovers cannot do it
and no drug can compensate
you hope that you are sane
but you know that you are a state

from a child on father’s knee
to a grown woman –
trying to set her emotions free
and with a flurry of confusion
that pulls her across a stormy sea

from picasso to warhol
it is something in-between
who says you have to be asleep
just so you can dream

my dreams are all dressed up
but with nowhere to go
you know it is true,
you know i would be there

the world goes on around
but it is just not the same anymore
i have checked my feet
and it is a different floor
