Peering into the dark of inside
Searching for the soft ache
Just where did it hide
Gotta catch it before the mess it will make
Tripping over old hidden inside stuff
Afraid to turn on the light and see them all
Should be pretty empty in here is my bluff
But each one I bump inflicted a little pain making me crawl
How can I tell which one is new
Or have all the untreated ones issued a new pain
I don’t really need this inner trip into blue
Listening to the old aches sing a painful refrain
I don’t dare make this trip too often
I thought as I retreated from the inside
Sort of feeling like I was inside a coffin
But the songs of all the inner pain collide
Making is clear to me through the din
I sure ain’t dead within
Sure is hard to describe
Sure is hard to abide

i'm  baffled by the amazing way you can express your emotions into words... seems pretty hard for me.
