I am in a pit of darkness,
and fighting firmly to crawl out.
I see a glimpse of happiness,
when my foggy mind
is clear of any doubt.
Then, I feel the light within me glisten & shine,
and for a moment, I am all fine.
For a moment, I can softly breathe,
and feel my chest become bravely light.
I can sense and smell life’s delight.
I yearn this feeling thus to last,
this intense desire,
so my lips can feel the kiss of fire.
When this elation,
this invigorating bliss
however, takes a flight,
I am fully back to the deepest chasm again,
to dance with the same lonesome pain,
slithering back to the dark light,
where there begins,
another dreadful night.

I am fully back to the deepest chasm again,
to dance with the same lonesome pain,
slithering back to the dark light,
where there begins,
