\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0A Trip To Within<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Why did I wait until the end?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

To try and travel within.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Within the mind of another.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Not talking about my brother.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Into the mind of one disturbed.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I know, you think it is weird.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This ability is only mine.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I have known about it for some time.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I decided to try this trip.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I work with patients that will fit.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I got one to sit and relax.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Said I was looking for facts.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Didn\u2019t tell it all to him.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Just to relax. Rest from within.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Slowly, I eased my way in.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t want to disturb him.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I had explored this way with others.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Other people, like my brother.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They all were considered sane.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The trip didn\u2019t cause them pain.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

When I reached the area of thought.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I was wondering what I sought?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Everything was jumbled here.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It was hard to see things clear.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Was that him riding a white horse?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Dressed up like a knight, of course.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He pointed his\u00a0lance at me.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Then, started charging, you see.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Just before he ran me through.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The scene changed to something new.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He was small and quite ashamed.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It was causing him a lot of pain.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He had done something he knew was wrong.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He feared his parents, who came on strong.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He always felt small, and unworthy.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He had a fear of getting dirty.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

His parents would whip his ass good.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He couldn\u2019t please them, but, he knew he should.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

His thinking became warped and delusional.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He withdrew into a world unusual.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He was the authority here.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He generated nothing, but fear.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

His word was law to all around.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Else, he would smash them into the ground.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This had little to do with reality.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It was his way to compensate, you see.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They say he is a schizophrenic.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Not someone you would like to mimic.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I withdrew, understanding much more now.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Now, if I could only reach him somehow.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

There may be hope for him to see the light.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

To no longer fear that it may not be right.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It will take time, but I have a direction.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I must show him that I respect him.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Decisions for him are hard to make.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I want it to become a piece of cake.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Time will tell if this all paid off.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I am not one who will scoff.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
