An Empty Pit

Don’t lose sight of your Future, For looking into your Past. For if you finally lose yourself It’s a pit from never to rise When eyes are clouded with nothing but what could have been While falling forward into a foggy future Dreaming is in vain Teetering on the edge, Looking down into the depths. Thinking how much harder it is To hang on than to simply let go. Rise! Don’t plunge into the darkness! Don’t lose yourself in your woes! For if you finally lose yourself It’s a pit from never to rise
