My Soul

I never look into my soul It's dark there, worlds of anguish I never have been whole So sure that I will perish Some others care about my core I wonder what they'll find there They seem to worry, and therefore They are allowed, if they don't tear My carefully built front apart My face toward the outside What they may find might be a start So let them be my life guide I want to be, I want to live So give me what you found here And in return for that I give My heart, my soul, without fear.
