Letting it Flow

The Simple Lullaby

When I was younger I got scared a lot

The world seemed too huge

The unknown was terrifying

And I'd need to be reassured constantly

That it was a nice place

And so I'd sing myself a simple lullaby

"Hush now baby, don't you cry

 

Take a tissue and dry your eyes.

 

Bad things won't get you in the night,

 

They only go for those out of your sight.

 

The worst they'll do is give you a fright

 

I promise you, you'll be alright."

 

 

 

"There aren't many monsters close to us,

 

They go to bad places cause for them it's a must.

 

Places where you're hungry when you rest your head,

 

Places where your parents are dead,

 

Places where the only thing you feel is dread,

 

Places where everyone you know has fled."

 

 

 

"The monsters there will steal you away,

 

And you'll be in a strange world within a day.

 

There they'll trade you,

 

Change your worldview to blue.

 

And all your thought's they'll skew

 

So finally you see what's true."

 

 

 

"Your world has the fragility of a vase

 

And for you the world is a perfect place,

 

But outside of it in the empty space

 

Lie the things that have fallen from grace."

 

 

 

"They are the things you choose to ignore.

 

The dark business, the sadness, the gore/

 

The flaws in the facades show the rotten core,

 

Reality waits behind the door."

 

 

 

"My world is a nice place."
