Expressive: Journey Into The Heart

Darkness shrouds regions of the heart
Like a scab on an open cut that will stay
Only the holder can pick it apart
Because other hands will be slapped away
The heart contains a certain light
But the darkness serves as a malicious mask
It has the ablilty to purge the night
But it must be strengthened to do the task

One must go through the darkness, go through the pain
The emotional stress will drive one insane
But don’t stop the journey all in vain
Keep in mind, the beast can be slain

You have two objects that will take you through
A map you draw during your black bath
And you have a torch fueled by faith from you
Illuminating the darkened path

Branching paths extend to the unknown
But only one contains the light
Other paths can lead to a torturous zone
The decision makes you feel tight

You take one path, you hope for the best
An angry tentacle grabs your chest
The wrong path that you have guessed
Leaving your emotions down and depressed

You’re now wounded, hurt from the monster
Draw on your map, so again you don’t encounter
But don’t stop the journey, all in vain
Keep in mind, the beast can be slain
For there is light inside that needs increase
And when you find it, you shall live in peace.
