Sinking
Sinking into a hole with vines to trap you
Thorns to stab you
To keep your heart from mending.

The darkness is welcomed
As much as you are afraid
But you're use to the fear
It haunts you often.

And looking up you see the sky
It explodes in cosmic colors
Nothing you can be a part of
You can only watch and yearn for it.

Your limbs you cannot move
And you realize you've stopped breathing
Or maybe you never did
You can't grasp the truth.

It all slips through your fingers
Like water through cracks
And everything is cold
And everything is lifeless.

In this hole you're confronted
With everything you need to face
You want to
But you want to hide.

You'll figure it out
Slash the vines
Destroy the thorns
Climb out of the hole.

Eventually
With time
You'll get to the sky
Up, up and away.

Because it's colors are so intimidating
But you want it so bad
It's right there
You can see it!

You cannot touch
You cannot have
But one day you will
You will, you will.

It's above you, you see
One day you'll leave this hole behind
To be with the other clouds in the sky
Cause really you're just a cloud, like all of them.

And you rain on yourself
All the time
And it's a continuous cycle
But all cycles break in the end.

Break your cycle
Be with the sky
And explode yourself
In cosmic colors.
