The Corners of my Mind

In the corners of my mind there dwell all my fears,

All the memories of the past that bring unbidden tears

Sometimes voices haunt my head

Leaving me afraid

All the things I’ve done and said

All the mistakes I’ve made

My life seems like an endless battle

A quest to find some peace

A place where my mind doesn’t rattle

Where the voices are deceased

I need to find my happy place

A place where I’m not a disgrace

A place where I can rest my mind

A place to leave the past behind

A better future in my grasp

When I learn to forgive my past

And learn to live just for today

Tomorrow’s worries melt away

As I dwell present in the now

I find some sweet relief

From those voices and from how

I make a new belief

That I am worthy and I forgive

That person I used to be

Find some self love, a way to live

A way to be my best me

So turn tired thoughts back from the past

Worry not for the next day,

These fears where not meant to last

Chase them far away

And sweep clean the corners of your mind

Peace and happiness you can find

Never lose your hope so bright

Stand and glow in your own light

And learn to like yourself again

Find a smile, a laugh and then

I guess if you are kind to you

You can find some kind for others too

And learn to overcome despair

Love and forgive, take care!
