Deeper And Down

Tell me what it is that makes you tick?
How far will you really go?
Can you pick and choose without fear?
Can you hide your feelings before they show?

We don't need a revelation
We won't cut ourselves to bleed
We all have hearts that can be broken
We all have our special needs

So take a trip with me sometime
Climb the stairs up to the stars
Take my hand now don't be nervous
We can share our pain and heal our scars
So let me show you how to live here
Learn to smile without a frown
We can show them all we're different
By going deeper and down

Now the world may turn against us
There is nothing we can do
Except hold on tight to each other
And wait fo the storm to ensue

We can take hold of each other
Stand against the tide and storm
Gather up all our pain together
And keep each other safe and warm
You are safe right here beside me
There is nothing to be afraid of
What's to lose when you've got me
We can still share this special love

Don't let their voices undo you
Dry your eyes and stand up tall
I will be your strength and power
To stand up against it all
Let your feelings just enfold you
I won't let you come to any harm
My love will guide and comfort you
And keep you safe and warm

So take a trip with me sometime
Climb the stairs up to the stars
Take my hand now don't be nervous
We can share our pain and fresh new scars
So let me show you how to live here
Learn to smile without a frown
We can show them all we're different
By going deeper and down

We can show them both together
By going deeper and down

    BRAVO! BRAVO!
    WOW! WAY TO WRITE!
    I think even dead corpses
    would arise from their graves
    to jump into your arms!
    (better lock your windows)


    way to write!
    I am truly speech-less with these contest entries!
    You are all slaughtering this prompt boldy!
    This is truly going to kill me to judge!
