I read my palms Tales of danger Darkened alleys Heavy full of strangers The grooves on my arms The screams I bottled Up for when I might feel Strong enough To open them A time I could let go Let go The dark crept out to live in me A wide awake, recurring dream When it takes hold I feel a tight yet familiar grip Not a blessing or a sign But it's all mine All mine Our forests hide among the trees Our days are shadowed by the night All thoughts evolving into things Emerging truth among the lies Watch me break the cycle of a broken home There's no grudge or burden left I let them go Let go The dark crept out to live in me A wide awake, recurring dream When it takes hold I feel a tight yet familiar grip Not a blessing or a sign But it's all mine Dare to live in me There's no where or when or how I don't know why Such a weak and weary soul could actualise Since this black hole in me swallowed all my pride I don't have much left but now it's all mine All mine
