Unknown self

\"What you don\'t know can\'t hurt you\"
but it is the unknown we fear the most
Few know themselves it\'s true
making our inner nest, host to a ghost

In a shell with no windows, we bar and bolt the door
Covers over our head we feel safe inside
Now the monsters we can ignore
Not knowing that we reside with those, from whom we hide

Our growth stunted from lack of sun
sheltered from the rain
Not knowing that we are the one
that causes our pain

Make friends with the demon
Oneself one must get to know
Knowing them will make you a free man
Courage will then sprout and grow
