Inside My Head

Inside my head I am not sick
I can dance, jump and play
There are no hospital visits
Or people acting like I will break

Inside my head I play in the grass
I watch the birds and butterflies
Who can go where they want
And do as they please

Inside my head I go to the zoo
I laugh with the monkeys and apes
Walking around nobody stares
And children don’t point and laugh

Inside my head I will never die
I am always happy and the sun shines
People don’t look at me sadly saying
‘I love you’ in case they don’t see me again

But I can’t always stay inside my head
Nurses keep coming and time doesn’t stop
I enjoy the time I have
Even though it isn’t long enough
