I shut out myself And the world You ignore the past Say it won't last Some mistakes will not erase Coloring all that I do and say Empty heart and crowded mind Won't make it right I hang by a thread Upside down We step off a ledge Onto the edge I lift my head I clear my thoughts And listen for words of saving grace I'm letting go of all the skeletons I chase We can co-exist Living in the Crowded Emptiness
