A Costly Price To Pay
A Costly Price To Pay
Black, negative thoughts cloud your mind
Consuming your heart, weights of all kind
Lost within yourself, self sorrow combined
A costly price to pay, in your mind confined
Losing who you are, to appease the crowd
To be acceptable, to those whom are allowed
And the ones not worthy, perhaps disavowed
A costly price to pay, not to be able to stand proud
Your mind, your friend, your enemy at the same time
Lost within your internal prison, committing no crime
Longing for whatever you seemingly lack, so sublime
A costly price to pay, living within your lost paradigm
Cast off whatever it is that does not serve you well
Be it within your life, your mind, bid it a fond farewell
Seek out that place deep within your soul, help you excel
Such a costly price to pay, lost within your personal hell
