Falling Into the Abyss
My life at the moment is hard
And im finding it hard to cope,
Its like im abseiling
But freely with no rope.
No excitment, no thrill
Just pain and hurt,
Im falling, crashing, falling
Face down in the dirt.
My battered broken body
Lays there in a heap,
I know where i need to be
"But im not strong enough" I weep.
My lonlieness consumes me then
And i curl up and cry,
Seems as though the battles lost
I just want to give up and die.
I cant be like them i thought
Im not strong enough to stand,
I'll lay here and wallow
Bury my head in the sand.
Something ignites in me..
I feel the strenghth to fight,
Im gonna get out of here...
Im leaving here tonight!
I claw my way out of despair
Away from this gloomy pit,
And i see something
A pathway clearly lit.
And the second i saw that light
I knew it was for me,
Sheer courage and strength just poured out
As that light guided me.
