I'm Down Here!

Down in a hole! I'm better now. I really found happiness.

Where are you?
It's dark and I'm scared
Come to me....
I'm over here
Down in the corner of this abyss
I miss the calm,
The quiet and sublime
It is dreadful here
Dark and chaotic
Something tells me I shouldn't be here,
But no one will show me the way out
I don't think anyone knows
Where is my light that I have been saving
It's put up in a jar on the shelf
Could you grab it for me?
Toss it down
I saved it just for a moment like this

What?

The light is gone
It escaped from the jar?
Who let it out?

I can't even see my hands in front of me,
but what I can here is hellish
Please come save me
I'm tucked away in the corner

Down here

I'm not sure how to tell you
How to get here
I'm not sure how I got here myself
It sure was a long fall
I can't tell if someone is coming to get me
Coming to kill me
Coming just to keep me company
Someone, please.
At least a pleasant voice
To go along with the blindness
The fear
The chaos

I'm alone down here
Off in the corner
It's dark
I can't get swept up in this chaos
Not yet
Not now

Someone
Please tell me how to get home
It's dark
I'm alone
I'm scared
