Belly

I've been crawling through my insides,
trying to figure out where it all begins.
Than I feel the ground beneath me tremble,
Is there something below the surface rising?
The foundation begins to crumble,
The walls I have built they come crashing down.
Swallowed by the chaos it pulls me under
into this insecure world that I've been hiding.
As i crawl between the empty spaces
I try to put the pieces where they all fit in.
Is hope just delightful thinking or a devise used for shedding skin
Angels above me begin singing 
they tell me to open up my heart again,
A demon than appears before me
and he extends his hand with a freindly grin.
Casting a calm reflection of who I was or who I really am,
Guided by a faint dismal light to overcome this hell within.
