I don’t know why I trust you when you say everything will be okay
Coming from anyone else it would be a joke
But somehow I allowed the lie that you spoke

I am afraid not of the dark or drowning in deep waters
But of my mind which keeps me in the dark with my drowning thoughts

My mind teases me with epiphanies to the darkness that’s imprinted in my skin
Someday I hope to shed it
To leave it behind
But somethings are just too deep
