Pay Attention Poem by Victoria Gauci

When the bridge to nowhere feels unsafe,
And the road ahead is narrow,
Pay attention to the voice in your head,
Listen to the song of the sparrow,

Answers to questions will sometimes confuse,
Trying to change the path you follow,
Keep your eyes focused and look dead ahead,
Take a deep breath and swallow,

Keep moving forward ahead as you go,
To the place you seek consolation,
A room with a view inside your mind,
Make way to your own celebration,

Put all of the pieces of your lifes' puzzle,
Lay it out for self discovery,
When it's all right there in front of you,
You're on your way to recovery,

Be honest, forthcoming and true to yourself,
Leave all of your problems behind,
The uniqueness of you will conquer the world,
In the end your essence will shine.
