Left out in the cold,
you leave me here to freeze
shut out from your warmth

I am forced to trudge on
leaving footprints in the snow
I walk towards the sun

drawing me
to serenity

it directs my uncertainty
ensuring that everything will be fine,
if I continue on

my feet will reach the sands
which I will bury
deeply,
grounding my spirit

stilling me

instilling in me

Lyrics to a recent song in the making

I do not fear the night.
The darkness that fills my surroundings provides me with comfort.

My mind may wonder,
And my thoughts may be consumed,
But I do not fear the night.

I fear losing you.
You are unpredictable.
I fear you.
I fear that if I lose you,
I will lose myself.

I do not fear the night.
I fear losing myself.

You are like the darkness.
I have lost myself in you.
I fear I will never find an escape.

I’ve stood tall with rising suns
And held my ground with angry seas,
But you,
with your golden eyes  
and reckless smile
-you bring me to my knees.

I'm occupied by my thoughts,
they drown me sometimes...
Do you know what it's like
to be afraid of your own mind?
I shut myself from the world,
In my bed, I hide...
I wish I could be like you,
unafraid, alive....
but that's not me at all,
I've been afraid all these years...
I wish I could escape it,
but it is what it is.......
