In My Mind's Eye

In my mind’s eye, I crawl in a cave Borrow deep inside Shut the opening with a rock Smell the sun hitting rocks, That musky smell of stale morning dew You think I am smiling Never looking into my eyes It’s a challenge, To smile like you mean it and Cry inside It hurts, most times, Knifes slitting your skin Just deep enough to draw blood, Never leaving a trace behind So thin, Invisible All around me people fall Like soldiers on a battleground Struck by random bullets Fired by angry men, None know the true target, Their own heart That door stuck shut and I’m left here I see no way out Just a faint light Stretch out my hands to touch it You think the light is salvation? Guess again I would like to live at the bottom of the sea, Buried between sand grains Deep in fantasy
