Admit One

When I dare to go deep inside

I get scared at what I might find

It’s not that I loathe myself

But I fear that if I expose myself

Nothing will ever be the same

 

When I go to that sacred space

Where no soul has ever dared to peer

A place where I long retired the key

I fear that once that door has opened

All will be in vain

 

When I go past that protected entry

I know that you are curious to see

It’s not that the sunlight will scorch you

I fear that the rivers might drown you

So that you no longer remember my name
