The Unkempt Soul
Deep in your soul's unkempt ground, fear has grown
Harvested by a heart of weaker means
As you stare in your field of the unknown
You will hear the sound from a soul that screams
To search for answers and quell its haunting
In a realm of choice, decisions are made
You'll choose fears growth when your soul is wanting
It grows like a weed to become inlaid
This infestation is one you've chosen
As you withdraw within and shrink away
or stand alone in your darkness, frozen
The cost of this choice is your fear will stay
The reasons you give are from your own fear
If your soul's unkempt, the reasons are clear
