The Pit
I’m slipping back in
Can feel myself fall
Can’t find a handhold
Up on the wall.
Don’t know when
I’ll climb out again
The darkness
Sucks me under
Muffles my cries
A numbness sets in
My eyes become blind
With nothing to see
Till the dawn wakens
Sun rises high
Shines in the pit
Clears my eyes.
The ladder so close
So simple to find
The way out not easy
But possible if tried
