i feel like we all have
a piece of ourselves
that we lock deep inside
in a place
that hides all the shadows
where light does not reside
this place is like no other
covered by
the prettiest of gates
but masked with
great delusion
this place
it’s not so pretty
you see,
i’ve been here times before.
it’s the place right where i left me.
the place that is no more.
a version of what once was
but what no longer
could ever be
a piece of me that’s hiding
deep beneath
the big blue sea
once you find the rainbow
painted on a lock
you’ll gain access
to the dungeon
where all life
courageously
goes to rot
it’s the lifelessness
that attracts them
so they won’t be forced
to think or feel or see
the reality that lies
right in front of them
the truth that sets us free
they sit here & they wallow
covered in self-pity
but never think
to make a change
to make l i f e
more pretty
i found the key
to my dungeon
& i threw it
far away
because
i don’t want to wallow
or sit up on display
day after freaking day
i want to
live my life
without apology
drowning in
the epitome
of what it means
to be
f r e e
wouldn’t you like to
find your key
so that you may
come and live
l i f e
f r e e l y
with me ?
