Beyond
Location
Beyond the face there is a brain.
It may not always be right,
It may not always be sane.
Beyond the eyes there is a vision.
What I wish I could see,
All the things that are missing.
Beyond the breasts there is a heart.
It wants and it needs things,
But it doesn’t know where to start.
Beyond the past is a future.
I want to be better.
For the past, my dreams are a cure.
Beyond today is tomorrow.
Will it be happy?
Or will it again be filled with sorrow.
Beyond your expectations, there is a person.
Not perfect, not an object, not a toy,
Not always happy, and sometimes hurting.
Beyond the act, are the people I’m doing it for.
I strive to be the things they want,
But underneath I am so much more.
