Time out of mind

Gino Valentine

Some pray for another way
Some cry to get by
But either way you stay
Waiting to be left behind
Wishing for lifes gifts
You may never even find
Wallowing in your sorrow
Becoming more confined
Feelings of helplessness
Trying hard to unwind
All your shaded thoughts
Is making you go blind
And unless you see through,
the darkness,You will become
Time out of mind!
