Hello Darkness

grounds are shaking
walls are caving in;
exposing each fear,
every anger and sin.
every step I’ve taken,
all I have been
chaos is brewing;
the ice is too thin.
alone in my head
words start to shake.
releasing the pain,
I let the ice break.
cold water pulling
it’s so hard to breathe.
wounds I was hiding
they finally bleed.
I’ve been here before.
I know where to go.
so journey I must
into the unknown.
I’ll brave the night
and travel alone,
digging up truths
to bring them back home.
