A Jar Of Secrets

Welcome to the dark caves,
Where light does not penetrate at any time
Just plain dark filled with never seen crime.

All that floats here are kept at bay by waves.
Maximum protection from the outside,
Everything here flows with the tide.

We are moving sealed jars,
Each man quietly loathing his own scars.
We get bashed just so we learn,
And trust we put out to burn.
Only we become dumb,
And to all the pain from the heat, we numb.
