Belly

Embedded image from another site

I've been crawling through my insides
Trying to figure out where it all begins
Than I feel the ground beneath me tremble
Is there something below the surface rising
The foundation begins to crumble
The walls I have built they come crashing down
Swallowed by this chaos it pulls me under
Into this insecure world that I've been hiding
As I crawl between the empty spaces
I try to put the pieces where they all fit in
But is hope just delightful thinking or a device used for shedding skin
Angels above me begin singing
They tell me to open up my heart again
A demon than appears before me
and he extends his hand with a freindly grin
Casting a calm reflection of who I was or who I really am
Guided by a faint dismal light I'll overcome this hell within
