#12 In case you weren't aware

In case you weren't aware, there's a world outside your window.

In case you weren't aware, there's places on this earth you need to go

In case you weren't aware, life is more than work and a computer screen

In case you weren't aware, I'm about to elaborate and tell you what I mean



Too often, we get trapped in our own little earth

Much smaller than the big one, which we were given on birth

A little personal place, that doesn't stretch out far

With familiar faces, and nothing bizarre



A world where nothing happens that you don't expect

Where everyone has similar ambitions and regrets

Your philosophy is only ever reinforced

And from a familiar vein is everything sourced



Stop it. Break out that cage.

It doesn't have to be done with anger or rage.

It just takes a second, and to be a tiny bit brave

To break out from the usual habits in which you behave



Do something different, no one's stopping you

Break the pattern of what you usually do

Make your own path, you may be surprised where it leads

And do something different.
