Scary Place


 it's a scary place,
 
 no place is scarier than the mind.
 
 horror displayed on the face
 
 is produced from the horror you find.
 
 you're your own enemy
 
 you're your own friend
 
 you're the only one who can bring it to an end.
 
 
 the river of thoughts you need to quell
 
 is the lake of fire of your own hell.
 
 buried in your little web of lies,
 
 lies the part that wants to cry.
 
 It needs to escape, it needs to go
 
 before you break the 'you' you know
