From Ones Abyss

When one descends from ones abyss Seeking that light you couldn't reach You feel your so close to your shadow Striving for ones freedom outreach Whilst the fortunate break the surface So many are pulled back down Sadly the descent is quicker than before Where many of us eventually drown

Interesting thoughts penned. I get the feeling that this one is saying that we can get in the pits and pull others with us. Sara
