I wish that I could say
What's really in my heart
I wish that I could reveal
How I truly feel
But it would gain me nothing
And lose me everything
So I'll simply smile
And pretend
That I really am happy.

Unworthy

With all the darkness that courses through my veins,
With all the misery I have caused and known,
How can they look to me for guidance?
With all the sins I have committed,
And the thousand more that I have considered,
How can they ask me to teach them?
If they could see the dark secrets
That hide in my heart,
Perhaps they would understand.
Though I may see
I am blind.
Though I may hear
I am deaf.
And I am far too lost
To show them the way.

Here We Bury

There are places
Hidden deep
Within the human soul
Where no one
Else can see
Here we bury
Our shames
Our fears
Where no one
Can ever know
Here we bury
Our secrets
Without
A tombstone
Never to be found
Never to be know
Here we bury
The dead
Damned
Memories
Of childhood
Here we bury
Our love
Here we bury
Our hate
Here we bury
Ourselves
Never to be known
Never to be found
Never to be loved

Here we bury
