The Place I'm Scared To Go

I have grown familiar of the monsters here

There's a place I'm scared to go

Because the monsters there are different

I won't know when to brace for impact

Brace for landing

Brace for the push before the falling

There'll be no planning

The bangs and the scrapes

One wrong step

Becoming three new mistakes

I won't know how to cope with

The pain and the shame

Of baring my soul

Just to be flayed

And bleed out my truths

Right from my heart

For the monsters to drink the blood

And thank me for my weakness

As they were starved

Of entertainment

Yes I'm scared to go to the place

Where the monsters there are different
