Lethal Emotions
I can feel them, my emotions
They are just below the surface
Bubbling and boiling
Ready to emerge, and it scares me
There's too many --
They are mixing together
Into a lethal cocktail
Ready to snuff me out
I feel like a piece of crystal
Having been dropped
Tiny fractures covering my soul
If one lets go -- it's over
I'm holding my breath
And trying to stay still
Hoping it passes
And leaves me whole
It's too dark in here
What have I done?
I shouldn't have opened that door
It was easier with it shut
