When people come to visit my house they only see the light.
They become blind to the obvious darkness.
For why would they want to see it?
Who would want to see the tourture creeping out from the cracks?
Lately my light's been flickering.
People've been seeing it.
The light slowly leaving.
Their getting smarter.
Leaving before it's too late.
But please don't forget to notice,
All the dents in my double doors.
From all the insults that have tried to break in.
All the lies and sometimes even truths.
I guess my ego was big enough on the other side to keep the doors shut.
Or maybe it's the fear that keeps the doors shut.
Locking them and slowly eroding the key.
Just to keep me safe inside.
Maybe I could do with a few more insults.
Maybe my door would finally break open.
Maybe I could show my true self.
But if I did, if I let my darkness out.
Would the few people who have stayed under the light finally leave?
Would they take down their camp outside and finally take off?
No, I can't open up.
