A Dark Place
There is a dark place
It's in the back of my mind
Sometimes I will summon it
Other times, me...it will find
This place holds the pain
And the suffering too
It holds all the scars
From the things I've been through
It's dark and it's scary
You'd not choose it to be
A destination to visit
These are not things you'd want to see
There is good about this dark place
And the sickness it holds
It is now held in containment
I decide when it's told
Now I call the shots
In beckoning these flashes
I use them to heal
Until I turn them to ashes
