buried alive

How could I let myself fall this far?

Where did my life go so wrong?

When did my arms become one big scar?

And why do I hum such a sad song?

I dug this hole, and Now i need to climb

I'm ready to be back on my feet.

I can't afford to waste anymore time.

The way up looks quite steep.

It would be much easier not to try,

to just lay down and accept this.

But to do so would be to die.

Lost down here in the bottomless abyss

I like this, Allura. It is very straight forward but holds meaning. I can feel this place because I think I have been there before. I have fell down and not realize how far I really was until I looked at the darkness around me.

I am curious, are your arms being one big scar a reference to cutting?

well thank you, and yes that is what that line is referring to

I cut for years so I really relate to that line.

I hope you can find your way out.

Your darkness leans toward the light. There is a yearning hopeful spirit overlaying. Well done.

I know how you feel, well written. I don't know you but I will say this...You don't have the luxury of quitting. Dust yourself off and continue on your journey. I've been buried alive for 40 years. Nothing will stop me, My saying is this..."you're either on my side, or your in my way" PERIOD!!!! Good piece.
