The evil in me keeps looking for the key to unlock 🔓 my issues on the world

but I keep it hid in the pocket of a kid I somehow remember from before

you used to think he was bad because he kicked the golden egg 🥚 but all he wanted was to see what was inside

so we became friends and I gave him the job of guarding it behind his favorite tree

so he’s quite content in looking after it and it keeps him out of trouble….. sometimes

me I had to split because I remember when I kept it closely by my side

and I would take it out and wonder what it would let out of the caged demons inside

so I got honest with myself and gave to someone else because that kid still lives inside

just around the corner……. I see the fence and my feet stumble and my hands often sweat because it takes everything I have not to climb over it…..

just around the corner…… always just around the corner
