Finding the Light
The rocks crumbled underfoot
As I descended into darkness
Eventually my phone became a guiding light
Leading me further into the depths
Eventually I came to the end
And shined my light on wall
There were words etched in stone
Words left behind by me years ago
Prophetic in nature they foretold struggle
And fights with depression
Words of encouragement were needed
To prevent me from finding the noose
A droplet of water fell upon my head
Spooking me so that I dropped my light
The screen went black and I knew only darkness
But really I knew darkness before that
Darkness had seeped into the depths of my soul
Where little light was to ever be found
For this cave was in fact a figment of the mind
Residing within my soul
An epiphany perhaps filled my thoughts
A realization that I control this place
The cave lit up like a Christmas tree
And I realized I created my own darkness
But I could also create my own light
If I had the fortitude to seek it
The rocks crumbled underfoot
As I ascended into the light
