The Forest

By darkestburningstar


Come with me
Come and take my hand
Walk with me through the forest
Let’s trek trough the land

I know it can be scary
It’s dark and hard to see
With all of this shit in the way
But, no worries you’re safe you are with me

You know I can be trusted
You know me very well
You see me every day
I am your best friend, can’t you tell

We can get through this forest
We will get through tree by tree
We can move all of the shit that is making it hard to see

Because every leaf that on the
Trees you see here
Make up the forest
Of the things you most fear

The leaves are the things inside you
That fills you with hate
The things that have dirtied your once clean slate

This forest is huge
And now that you are in you can’t get out
It will be futile but if you want
Go ahead scream go ahead and shout

Who am I you ask
Do you really want to know?
You really are stupid
I can’t wait to tell you now and watch your head blow

I am the one you hate most
The one you battle every day
The one most ambivalent
The one that tells you what to say

The one that tells you how to act
That tells you what to do
The ugly one that looks back from the mirror each day
Bitch I am you
