Dont forget to look up
Its something everyone forgets to do
You watch you back
You watch your step
You even look to see whats in front of you
But you never look up
Its like everyone
Is so sure
The the sky wont fall
Maybe the chicken had it right

The compass has four points
And one of them points up
Side to side
Down
Up

I pretend not to be as paranoied as I am
I even pretend that I dont loook for all the exits
I go so far as to  put my back to a door at times
But only after I've put people
Between it and me

I look up
I look up in buildings
To check for windows
Balconys
And any other ares where people could hide
I look up outside
To make sure I'm not missing anyone
Who might be watching.

I watch my back
I watch my step
I even watch to make sure Im not walking into a trap
And I always look up

I still remember how many cealing tiles were in my hospital room
I still remember the color of the sky
The day I lost my best friend
And I even remember how many lights were out
In the hallway of the hotel room
The night my ex hit me
For the last time

Dont forget to look up
It could save your life
Or you could at least see something beautiful
I may be paranoied
But it doesnt mean that I don't see beauty

Thank you. Im not new here either but I went through a time of just not being able to write no matter how much I wanted. That time has obviously ended.
