Being Yourself

Location

Someone sings to me in my sleep

An ancient voce, unknown to thee

Speak to me, hear me out

I know what is hidding deep inside

Deep in the shadows in the dead of the night

Crawling beneath all the darkest light

Hear it crawl, it scrapes the floor

Hear it scream, hear it scorn

It walks in your shadow forever more

Don't deny it because it's part of you

It is who you are

The dark is light, the light is dark

I understand how it feels

Being pulled in separate ways, being pried apart

It feels like you're ripping out your soul

Everyone has a dark side as well as a light

No one is perfect, no one's pure

We all have our flaws, our bumps and bruises

We look inside ourselves searching for a purpose

A purpose that no one knows

Do we know that such a purpose exists?
