Theres a part of me swirling around inside Hoping to be free, to be discovered. Yet when I let it out, everything changes. It takes over me completely. Consumes my soul and the darkness overtakes the light.   I drown in my own freedom.. Am I supposed to bury it down so deep I hopefully forget about it? I can live in the light and pretend the rest doesn’t exist. Yet I’ll be denying a whole entire half of me. I don’t know if it’s even half really.. It doesn’t like to share.. it’s either dwindled down n hidden or it takes completely over. But I can’t deny it’s there even while suppressing it so well. Even in my happiest moments it finds a way of exposing itself and I have to cover it up with a fake smile and pretending to be perfectly well. It hits me like a brick ******* wall. No matter how high the bliss or how low the pits I’m in. It always has a way of surprising me.. reminding me it’ll never go away. I could live a lie, or live completely taken by this darkness. I fear there is no middle ground here.
