It’s Easy To Get Lost In The UnderWorld
It started slow
The drip of desperation
A single tear sliding gently past my teeth
I was to caught up in what I wanted to believe
Tangled and trapped in my ability
To see what I was
And what I should be
It soon went fast
I’m out of control
Only a few more days
I seem to think
The days I make grey and dull
To dull the very sword
Of which I stand on each day
The blade I can only hope
Is facing the other way
In spirals like this I wish to say
“It’s easy to get lost
As if this isn’t a first time
Bounded to me with uncertainty
I keep it all to myself
lost trust of the world around me by losing myself
So in Spirals like these
As my body that isn’t mine
Twirls against the winds of time
I say
It’s easy to get lost in the underworld
One last time
