Creekside Train

I thought you were the monster
that was hiding underneath my bed
believed in you
you didn’t need to hide from me
because you were there
right in front of me
scarring me with insecurities
passed down from past generations
teaching me lies that I never wanted
I never wanted to be your son
just because you gave me life
does not mean you have to be part of it
searching
running
digging
I am
running
I am
you are the monster
hold on to nothing
there is a way
I’ve found my way
I am not lost
and now that I’ve found my way
I can be free
help me
who am I
I am on the path so give me the power
I am not lost like you told me
it’s the soil in you
I was your son
who am I now
