Analysis of Space In Your Head
What shapes your inner core? What masks under your sea?
What lies beyond the shore?
What can you come to be?
When will your heart ignite? When will you soar above?
When will you truly kite?
When is it time to love?
How do worries cause doubt? How do your dreams expire?
How do the hopes fade out?
How do you next inspire?
Why live in darkness now? Why languish in the cave?
Why shun the sunny vow?
Why not befit the brave?
Where is your comfort zone? Where is your simple plat?
Where is your civil tone? Where is your habitat?
Who rents space in your head? Who knots the ties that bind?
Who thinks for you instead?
Who monitors your mind?
