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
