Television Poem by olivia helmes

I feel a little a bit crazy watching the world through my television screen
I See a little bit of sanity in following your dreams
Sometimes I hear voices telling me what I should do
But all they ever give me is some kind of clue
Walk in the light and avoid the dark
Depression is a mistress and no one should be controlled
Wear that rain coat and deflect bad news
But baby this is what you gotta do


Listen to the beat of your heart
Don’t give up even before its started
Feel the rhythm of the world beating in your soul and find your own
Pull a card out of the deck and follow the path to your dream
And sometimes apples and oranges aren’t what they seem
Roll with it

I feel a little déjàvu as I walk down the street
thinking about the expression of emotion from everyone I meet
The worlds a see saw battling back and forth
Between the forces of poverty and peace we are shook
But to every force there is an equal or so ive heard
Happiness is a resident dwelling in the heart
Spreading warmth and a helping hand
Girl you know you got to

Listen to the beat of your heart
Don’t give up even before its started
Feel the rhythm of the world beating in your soul and find your own
Pull a card out of the deck and follow the path to your dream
And sometimes apples and oranges aren’t what they seem
Roll with it
You cant have light without the dark
Good and evil never part
Listen to others and above all decide for yourself
Cause girl all it takes is one hand to help
Your apples may be sour and your oranges sweet
But its what you do with them that makes the difference

Roll with the wind which ever way it goes
Roll, roll, roll with your
Instincts
I feel a little bit crazy watching the world through my television screen
But with everything the way it is I can turn it off
And say it was a bad dream
