Safe In The Light Poem by Kaspa Richards

I see you living way up there
On the highest mountain
With the cleanest air
From way down here
In my pit of despair

But the times you see me
I crept up there
With my real face hidden
I walked those stairs
To be in your presence
I had to fight my fears
And to protect your happiness
I must hide these tears

You live so high
And you think I do too
I don’t want you to walk away
So i’m holding back the truth
That i'm not ok and no its not you
And yes I know you’re the only one I turn too

You live on this mountain
Where you think I do reside
But when we part our ways
I’m rolling back down the side
Back to blackness
Back to my fight
Can’t bear to bring you down
So I keep this out of sight
Fighting my battles in the dark
So you can stay in the light
