Pandora's Box

Hold onto hope When there is nothing left hold on Hold onto those faint glimmers The can't-quite-remembers The oh-so-distant-futures Hold on when it is all too much When no reason seems enough When you need someone else to pull you through The dark days when deepening depressions Push you down, push you under Can't breath, can't see The future is a distant dream Built as an opportunity for others Not for you, never for you; You don't deserve it, you haven't earned it You are not strong enough You are not worthwhile. Unless you hold on Hold onto the last strands as the rope is unravelling The real world flying past the window while You are inside, alone Hoping and wishing That one day you will have the courage To find the key Unlock the door And step outside.
