The Hole I Dig

March 15, 2021

It happens again and again I heard the beauty you made And now I have to speak louder Making my voice heard over yours Thinking, knowing that my words will be held up to yours even if others aren't doing it I still am, I hear how my words sound This doesn't sound right This doesn't flow right This doesn't feel right And now, once again, I'm in that hole It isn't your fault, it's mine I put myself there every time Now I have to climb up, struggling to get free to find what I know is me But it isn't right yet And I don't know if it ever will be But I have to keep climbing To get out of the hole I dig Because I hate it down there And I want to be free
