Skeletons

I tried to soothe my mind, I tried to find a way outside the chains that tie and bind. I sought to make my void complete by running into self retreat and hoping that I would not meet the skeletons I try to hide.

I hid my face in Maybelline and ran through beauty clean, but didn't see the things I dream and so I ran some more. Into a house where lust commands where heat and heart forced their demands, and I can't help but their hands and so I ran some more.

I fumbled into danger's arms falling hard for loathsome charms, until his fists beat down to harm and so I ran some more. Back home to where I was a child and life was free and dreams were wild, and all was simple, soft, and mild but life here was no more unpooled and so I ran some more.

Into a church where God could see the fears and tears that worried me, and all the things I could not be, and things began to slowly change, but nothing here seemed right-just strangebut I took time to rearrange and not to runaway,

for I was happy just to breathe and take the chance to stop grieve and finally slowly now retrieve the pieces that had flown away and still I wanted more this day and so I gave my life to stay and bid my skeletons farewell. Brittany
