Absent Minded
Hold on
Does the shadow own your soul
does the darkness claim you for its own?
Are you empty and drained?
are you frayed around the edges,
and drowning in soft waters?
Hold onto yourself
Hold on for life
Hold on to your beliefs
because they define you
Hold onto your memories
that don't haunt you
Hold onto the dreams
that always thrill you
Hold onto the crutches
that never crack you
Cower in the thorns
do the prickles cut your skin?
Are you bleeding profusely?
do you need a bandage?
Can you feel the thorn on my side?
can you touch the deeper times?
Hold on to yourself
hold on to something else
hold on to your beliefs
hold on to your values
hold on to your masks
hold on to your dignity
hold on to your self control
hold on to your ego trips.
does the darkness claim you for its own?
Are you empty and drained?
are you frayed around the edges,
and drowning in soft waters?
Hold onto yourself
Hold on for life
Hold on to your beliefs
because they define you
Hold onto your memories
that don't haunt you
Hold onto the dreams
that always thrill you
Hold onto the crutches
that never crack you
Cower in the thorns
do the prickles cut your skin?
Are you bleeding profusely?
do you need a bandage?
Can you feel the thorn on my side?
can you touch the deeper times?
Hold on to yourself
hold on to something else
hold on to your beliefs
hold on to your values
hold on to your masks
hold on to your dignity
hold on to your self control
hold on to your ego trips.
