Opening your mind can be enlightening

But writing words down can be frightening

Unless spoken, meaning can go in the wrong direction

Written words sometimes miss the important inflection

What we have in life we shouldn’t take for granted 

We need to keep it real with our feet firmly planted

However, it’s hard sometimes to keep it real

When you can’t explain or express how you really feel

I don’t fear much but do have a bit of a fear

A time will come when you're not here

A part of my life that I don’t wish to end

So that time will be hard to comprehend

Often feels like an awesome roller coaster ride

I need to go now as the words have dried

Never know if I should write what’s on my mind

I just hope the reception to this is not too unkind
