Pitfall

I did not know what I did not know
Though I thought I knew it all
So I went where the wise don’t go
And pride came before my fall

Headlong down into a pit
Bleeding, bruised, heartbroken
Now in a darkened stupor sit
My future fears unspoken

Far too feeble to escape
Despair has left me numb
I find myself in need of grace
Waiting for rescuers to come
