Worthless. I am worthless.
Stuck in this hole I dug myself
I forgot which way is up
"I'm digging, I'm digging!"
It's worthless.
I am worthless.
Am I digging myself out or
Digging myself deeper?
I should give up.
I can't give up.
Fingers bleeding as I
Tightly grip the shovel
Sweat dripping down my face
"I'M DIGGING OKAY!"
Pressure closing in around me
Dirt clinging to my waist
Where your hands should be
I see your face
I was never good enough
Thats why you left
My aching bones are crumbling
"I'm... still... digging"
Maybe I should rest
I'm running out of air
Breathing is worthless
I am worthless.
Is all I see darkness or
Just absence of light?
Were you ever around?
Or just dirt under my feet,
A figment of my imagination?
What was that sound?
I put my shovel down.
It's worthless.
I look up
I see you
You were there all along
I just didn't notice
I am not worthless.
