Deep In The Hole Phase -

September 25, 2011 was when the world collapsed on me

The ground I once stood on had vanished

The illusion I once held as true popped

My chest was aching, my heart had dropped

My head was a river of tear dropping thoughts.

Whatever strength I had left within me was gone

It was then, when I found myself lying inside a deep nasty, dirty, and very cold hole

It was no help, lying there facing down

With tears rolling and splashing to the ground

Everything looked black and dim as I lay down stuck in mud

When all this time, I had it inside, to roll over and face back up

Then I saw the light on the outside

My loved ones and my collapsed dreams floating in the air

And I tried to focus on them with all my might

Even though I was still grounded in my despair

But then a sense of hope was born within me

I saw a way that I could escape

As I tried to get up I felt the chains

But I kept walking, because I knew someday it won’t be the same
