for the life of me I cannot find
a way to lock them away inside
they creep below the surface
I'm sure they serve a purpose
the purpose that I can't find
so within my myself i hide
buried deep inside my pride
the places where my past resides
in the deepest corners of my mind
one day i'll figure out
how to leave it all behind
leave in the past all of my doubt
and extinguish the fear of striking out
