To say that you are not afraid would be a lie.
It would be a lie and you know it.
Because as the darkness grows and the light becomes dim,
it becomes impossible to see what lies ahead.
So do not say, "I'm not afraid."
For that would be a lie.
Do not let the words, "I am not scared." escape your constricted throat.
And as you wander through the merciless maze and swim through the ocean,
Do not tell yourself that there is nothing to fear.
Do not let that thought wrap itself around your heart.
do not let that happen lost child, for it will blind you to the wicked, the evil, dark.
the dark that drones on and on.
The dark that will make you say the lies that comfort our broken souls.
Our broken souls that are now covered in cobwebs and dust.
Our broken souls stricken with lies and self deception.
The lies we all say.
The lies that never go away until we run through that warm water that cleanses our minds and releases our hearts.
The water that blocks the light out of the cavern.
The cavern of lies and self deception.
The cavern that you are finally free of.
You are finally free of the lies.
And you are finally free of fear, lost child.
Yes, you are finally free.
