One day, I woke up in a deserted hole
and I didn't know how I got there
It was dark and I was naked and I called for my parents
but they were not there
I was trapped and laid down to sleep
and didn't pray because I know longer believed in a God
and my dreams were filled with despair and a noose fell down from the sky
I had to choose
I saw a light at the top of the hole and tried to climb up
I cut myself on broken glass and voices erupted from within
"you will never finish you will never win you are worthless"
I got to the top of the hole and smiled and saw the sun
and saw hope
But then I had to go to school
or have a fight with my friends
or get a bad grade
And then, I'm tossed back into the abyss
I'm punched in the stomach and I can't breathe
I feel scared and start to cry
I must make the choice again...
