Trapped

Where have you gone?
Behind that forced smile and
Tired, lifeless eyes?
Where is the spirit
That used to sparkle and dance
In once-twinkling eyes?
Come... come...
Take my hand, weary soul;
Step forward once more...
This is your time to shine
Together we can fly
Body and soul
United and free
Let's set ourselvees free
Let's soar, once more...

Insight...

I think of you 
With needles in your eyes 
To help you see
Yet you can't see
Have you ever seen?
Will you ever see?
Or do you just see 
What you want to see
Through blinkered
Narrow-minded
Judgemental eyes 
Full of bitterness and self pity?
Will you ever see 
Your mistakes or
Will you always 
Be blind, only able to see 
The next glass of whisky
That might or might not 
Help drown the grief
As a temporary, yet long term,
Measure?
From a safe distance
I can see and
Still, I wish you well.
