Denial becomes a prison

Denial becomes a prison

When you ignore

The roots buried in your heart

The subconscious holds the truth

Of what's underneath

And sometimes it's messy

Shame arises

That you would rather keep

Lodged into the ground

Like a forbidden secret

Afraid of what happens

When you decide to dig it up

It's not a prison you cannot break out of

It is a prison that waits until you're ready

To face yourself

So you can see others

For who they really are

You carry the armor

To walk in the forest of shadows
