A Mind Refined Steps Along Life Free (revised)

My mind is such a scary place to be
As time erodes, the space is closing tight
The light is dull; the way is hard to see.


Pursuit of finer things is life’s decree,
Yet life refined in excess hinders sight
My mind is such a scary place to be.


I know the way. Let courage be the key.
With staggered steps, I travel through the night
The light is dull; the way is hard to see.

My biggest fear: to be alone with me
The way is rough along this path to right
My mind is such a scary place to be.


Most lessons learned in life will have a fee;
Yet through it all, no thoughts of flee or flight
The light is dull; the way is hard to see.


I must step out and live as though I’m free
I spread my wings, with fear at this great height.
My mind is such a scary place to be,
The light is dull; the way is hard to see.
