The Underway Cavern

(another MD poem)

31 March 2017

Underway Cavern


“hide my secrets, hide my soul”
oh she is just a lonely candle

shining her light at the base of the path
that is blocked up by each individual
till one chooses to face this world’s wrath
till one chooses their own life to channel

into the orb that is small
into a body so small
into the crack in the wall
into a pain very real.

oh, it is only a game!
oh, it is only a body so lame!

oh, it is hard to have fun!
oh, it is hard to accept everyone!

hide my secrets, hide my fear
oh, but it had such a warm veneer!
oh, how i wanted to just disappear
hide my secrets, hide my soul.
