#diggingdeep
Afraid? Of what? Of what's inside of me. How evil Dangerous Destructive Could it be? I am my own careful detective Investigating parts of me That I myself have hid For years quite stubbornly Will I be able to rejoin All parts of me together? Will I be able to enjoy The wholeness then forever? It's not as easy to put into words It feels as if I had maybe two hearts There's one that tries to be so nice But underneath it lies... Another one, the dark and rough, That one was made by times so tough That really it just cannot smile It has its own dark heavy style I'm digging deep to see My fear is growing though That's how I managed to ignore My darkness for so long But finally, for feelings' sake, I gotta stop before it's late I need to see and to admit Who am I underneath the dry smile That I have been practicing for a long while Scared of losing myself? Maybe. But I gotta risk it, Don't I? After all I just know That my darkest side Does deserve the attention Of my soul and mind It's a part of me I'll express it in arts Before my dry fake smile Dries out both of my hearts.

Two hearts
Too many eyes watching Too many ears listening Too many ideals capsizing Too many thoughts sinking... And dreams drowning. Too many drops fallen Too many smiles forsaken Too many times beaten Too many hearts left shaken... And promises broken. Too many questions asked Too many answers hidden Too many faces masked Too many hands bitten... And people forgotten. Too many words said Too many pacts fade Too many boundaries laid Too many rules made... And games played. Too many secrets entombed Too many feelings consumed Too many ill thoughts bloomed Too many enemies groomed... And hate campaigns resumed. Too many... A plethora too many Too many... We choose not to see Too many... Taken far too lightly Too many... There's just *too many, too many...*

Too Many, Too Many
