Finding Myself

I had went looking for myself
Searching the places I'd hide
I thought I could ever hear 
Her innocent muffled cry

I looked in every room 
And behind every looked door
I felt she was waiting on me
Desperately wanting something more

I got lost in my prison 
In its walls that twist and turn
The deeper I went in
My skin would start to burn

Cofusion consumed me 
Things that's my flesh would crave
Little did I know, I was holding
The shovel that digs my crave

She knew I was coming 
And hid from me in that dark place
She didn't want me to see 
Her distorted wicked face

Demons now comforted her
For me, she would humbly pray
She wanted me to be at peace
For Grace to free me one day

Sally, grace will heal you, pray, pray and pray some more. You’re too young and beautiful to be knocking on heaven’s door... Belle
