Thy Self Be True
There’s a cross that I wear
That hangs down from my neck
It weights me down
From passed years
Filled with fears
And distress
From deep down inside
A place I don’t turn over
And check
Its best left alone
Way down deep in its depths
It stays with me while I'm sleeping and stirs up
My world
I feel my heart racing
As my body uncurls
It wears a ring around my soul
Bleeding me to defeat
Making me feel old
There’s a cross that I wear
That hangs down from my neck
Its not made of beads or ribbons
Not even a speck
It’s the pain that I wear
From my past, my wreck
