Inside Out

sometimes
all you need
is to hear your own thoughts

everything
ever so still now
clothes parting
sun setting
moon rising

and its like drowning in a sea
when the water is just up to your ankles

so hear me out now

i may never be free from the world
but, as the darkness grows heavy
somewhere in there
i know there's light

its not your fault
that nothing ever grows

and days pass
and we're not growing any younger

soon
it'll be time
for our eyes to open

maybe mine is open
maybe yours are

maybe our lives
are just looking from the inside

out
