Places

I guard a place inside of me
Where I can go, and you can't see
Those times when I can't carry on
Those times when I'm no longer strong

A place inside where lights are dim
That place I seek when days are grim
To tend those wounds that never heal
The distant past, that feels so real

A futile gesture some would say
Some things will never go away
Like monsters in the murky mist
Reminding that they still exist

And in this struggle, I remain
Too many years I've known this pain
Unable still to free my heart
As still my past tears it apart

Now this was not a path I chose
But sometimes that's just how it goes
I've done my best to make things right
Inside that place that's out of sight
