these iron claws


These iron claws of fear
forced deeply into my heart
belonging to my dark thoughts
and spider webs of secret doubts

attached to birds so black
creating shades in my mind
while the red sun is setting
over my fading innocence

closing the eyes of destiny
won’t stop them from crying
their black tears will always fall
as grief about the world we made

am I starting to try faking, again
smiling to proof my feelings wrong
not talking as to keep the pain away
closing my eyes, to avoid the truth

how can I be so scared, so full doubt
feeling strangely helpless, feeling alone
questioning the us, could it truly be
and it isn’t about you, never is

it’s just me, fighting with things
that are secretly far too big for me
