Voices In the Dark

Voices in the dark You walk the halls of your mind groping in the dark Looking for the room of memories of your heart The first door you come upon is old and tattered You were about to go inside until you heard chatter It was coming from a door marked “do not enter” Chained and locked with a peep hole in the center The voices were pleading for you to unlock the door Promising you the happiest of memories oh so pure Putting your eye against the peep hole to look inside But all you could see is darkness where the voices hide They plead with you to unlock the door and come on in But why would I lock up my memories of my heart within Then you remember why you chained and lock this door This is the place all your hurt and shame have been stored The voices get louder and more demanding to be set free A voice louder than the others cries out you need to see You can’t lock us up forever we will escape some day It’s time to shine a light on us and we will go away
