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.
