Inside of me
I walk reaching out into the darkness
Wondering how I got here I fear the things that lurk near
Inside the house in me I can’t bear the sight of
The noose that hangs on the tree
All so quick that I happen to trip
Farther into the fears beneath me
I try to scream
But only air seethes
The echos of emptiness come from me
Drowning in my tears even more fears
Suffocate any breath left in me
In a flash my eyes roll back
To wake to feel the ground beneath me
I’m sick of this hell
Trapped in this cold dark cell
Wanting to find the key
I look around at the cold damp ground
But nothing appears to me
Suddenly then I look in my hand
Surprised of what I see
What I’ve been holding so tightly
Because the whole time
I was the one with the key
