Something Inside
The thoughts in my head,
the fears in my heart,
Sometimes it’s just way too much.
I try,
and I breathe,
and I live,
and so repeat.
It’s hard, and it’s sad.
It’s frustrating, and it’s mad.
It’s harsh, and it’s cruel.
It’s terrible, and it’s rude.
It comes out of nowhere, sometimes,
creeping on me from behind.
It’s okay, I say,
It’s all in your head.
But if my stories are dark,
filled with mayhem and blood,
is it really that much of a surprise,
that so is my mind?
This is the price?
But I refuse to accept,
this is not over yet.
I will live,
I will thrive,
I will do this,
I’ll survive.
Because there’s something inside,
something bright and alive.
It’s chained,
and it’s buried,
and it’s kept away tight.
But I’ll see it,
I will reach it,
I will free it,
I will be it.
