Look Around

 

(Look around)

The world isn’t coming for you

But you’re invited to join

 

(Look around)

Monsters aren’t born

Of anything but fear's imagination

 

(Look around)

There are no more meaningful answers

Than those you learn through yourself

 

(Look around)

Love is not guaranteed

But you can choose to give it

 

(Look around)

Perfection resides in character

Not in possession or parade

 

(Look around)

You have what you need

But your time is limited

 

(Look around)

Tomorrow is of your making

Nothing and no one is pre-destined

 

(Look around)

Everything you see around you

Is a product of how you choose to see

 

(Look inside)

Embrace the lost child

But don’t let it rule

 

(Look)

For you

Underneath the bandages

 

The best you is there

(Looking for you)
