Look Up

I look up to the sky. The outside world, and to space where the sun shines and the stars hide I

Look up.

I look up because I have been taught to never look down

the earth below my feet constantly pulling me down but, 

I look up.

I feel the strain on my neck my heavy body always wanting to fall and never get up but,

I look up.

I feel the abuse of the world weighing me down. I feel the pressure of never succeeding. I hear the world's deep quiet voice telling me to look down because i'l never make it but,

I look up.

I see you walking towards me head down and depression up, and all I have been taught to say is......Look up.

I know you don't understand and neither do I but this is why I try, because if I don't look up for myself no one else will.

So
I 

look

up.
