Shadow Heart

You grow up
Fearing the boogeyman
Will get you

In time you see
The boogeyman you fear
Preys on your desires
The secrets you dare not share

All builds up
Like a cup
Filled with precious liquid
One more drop
till your heart overflows
And the monster is free to roam

The sun
Cannot wash this monster away
The light
Cannot keep the shadow at bay

A change of heart
Is the only way
Admitting you're wrong
Is a good place to start

Remember the darkness
That clouds your heart
There's no greater beast
Than you
