I so desperately crawl Somewhere safe Where I can rest This pain I felt in my chest So ordinary It almost tells me Life is hard So I crawled down a forever winding road A road so long, the only end is a hole So I ventured into that hole It became my home I loved it down there laughing everyday loving everyday not a care in the world But, then I had realized That this was no longer A nice place Something happened, that I cannot even explain I wanted to leave my home Forever It was no longer a safe place Not for my body Not for my mind But, everytime I went to get out of that hole I called home Something pushed me back in Then light as bright as a new mornings sun, handed me a rope This rope screamed my name, So loud I was frightened to grab a hold I was elevated from this hole Into the world I was missing This sun was so nice to me Always wanting me to do good things Helping me move through in a positive way The sun transformed into a woman I loved this woman She always listened and cared I became in love with this woman so quickly I scared myself I was so afraid of this emotion I felt I didn't speak I just did whatever the woman wanted I was found by a lover that was not only my way out of the darkness, but it was a lover who needed and still needs help out of their own darkness.
