Swallowed Whole
I've walked a thousand miles , lost in my mind ,
A thousand lies spoken , tears left behind.
Anxiety's dark abyss has swallowed me whole ,
A never-ending hole , where shadows take control.
Hurt a thousand times , I've sighed and cried ,
Lost in darkness , where light has died.
This journey's paved with potholes and pain ,
Life's swallowed me whole , leaving scars that remain.
Some call me a liar , with hearts that I've broke ,
A weight that i carry , a burden to cope.
I wish I'd closed my eyes , to thee flames that I've fuelled ,
Trapped in my lies , my soul has been cruel.
I've walked a thousand miles , through shadows and night ,
Searching for redemption , a guiding light.
