Spiralling, falling, into the dark
Scary; haunted echoes
No light, but
The glow from the claw marks
On the walls
Sheened over with ebony
Grasping, slipping, no light to see
In the middle of nowhere
Voices whisper “Give up”
I long to; no energy to fight
But instinct is strong
And I ache to endure
So I fake it ‘til it’s true
My shoulders grow bigger,
Grow stronger
Believe that beyond
The darkness, the scars
A light still remains
The darkness, it squeezes
Exhausting my brain
Locking me into
That place in my head
Insanity pleads
Begs hard to be free
Am I going crazy?
I just want to stop
All the hurting, the suffering
The dread vibes I feel
I need to believe
That all things must pass
It’s hard to push forward
Without any aim
The struggle is real; I
Can’t stop the fall
But if you will help me
I’ll climb out of the pit
Into the light
Where shines the sun
Anxiety buried
With memories and shame
I’ll need your support
To help me get through
The darkness that follows
And remains in my soul
I’ve found you at last
You saved me from Hell
And brightened my life
With patience and love
I thought all was lost
There with the pain
But now things make sense
Again and for once
‘Cause all things must pass
Even dashed hopes
