Deep Within

Somewhere deep within the soul There lies an untapped power That's just waiting to break free Waiting for the right moment For that resolution That awakens one's true potential. It's a far way down In the curious rabbit hole To dive right into the core That rests within the heart So close, yet so far away For the path to such a treasure Is filled with obstacles to overcome This is the trial one must face If he wants to claim himself. Diving deep into the unknown Can be terrifying for one For the deeper you swim The darker it becomes Like the bottom of the ocean floor. It shakes your core Enough to break you down Surrounded by nothingness Feeling as though you'll fade Swallowed up by the darkness That tries to engulf you. The darker the darkness The brighter the light becomes For just before your eyes There lies the catalyst Just in reach. Will you give up now? Your just in reach Keep going forth With all your strength Your almost there. You break free from doubt Leaving behind all that you know Casting the shell of mortality aside Having the resolve within you To become more than you are All possible from deep within.
