Inside
Inside
Look beyond the surface to find that natural bliss.
You can see it in the distance for little more than an instance.
Sometimes it's just a tiny ray of hope.
A little bit of light to shine upon your night.
To dismay your darkness and save your balance on that thin strip of thread that was
once your rope.
It all happened at once when you began to say no.
It all happened when you made the choice that you wouldn't let yourself go.
Enough found its limit.
And you found a new beginning in that minute.
You suffered.
You already knew what pain had been.
The pain you grew accustomed to when it was all you had left to live in.
No longer could you see inside.
And you know you tried.
It was blocked and barred by brick walls.
Self infliction distorted your view of it all.
Love was there once upon a time.
It was there where love used to reside.
All you had to do then and all you have to do now is open your eyes
and step inside.
