The Downward Spiral

The downward spiral On the edge. Leaning towards the deep end The dark waters with their mystery Seem to beckon you and your misery Talking like its cold embrace will warm you It is asking for your life and to guide you. Leaning forward into the abyss The wind past your ears seem to hiss Your fly and you soar For a time that makes you wish you had more Though the feeling cannot last If you keep thinking of what people said in your past The water boils from your unleashed rage Only stirring the whirlwind of pain and hate As you claw at the blackness surrounding you In the tormenting fury that you cannot bare You wish to scream in your anger Yet your voice seems to just whimper drowned without air As you are over come with despair. The lack of life in this moment makes you weep All you want to do is sleep But then you think. What about the ones I will make weep? Maybe it’s not all that it seems Maybe someone is waiting just for me To wake them from their dreams The nightmare that they cannot break free The one they are waiting in just for me. I want it all to stop I really want to quit But I know the person is waiting for a hero And this hero is me. I must get out. Out of this dream I need to wake and help the one beckoning me I say sorry to this black water Then flail in its grip Trying to escape its unholy embrace. My breath escapes from my lungs And my mind screams in pain. But then the darkness evaporates. Leaving me to start anew Like a phoenix rising from its own dark ashes. I look at the world I thought I knew Awake and breathing I arise from my room A new view on life..... I look in a mirror Then I see what I want to be The glass shatters Setting me free. I will change the world And all that has hurt. I will not let the one waiting for me down I will find him or her and turn their life around. I won’t let this world drown I won’t let others follow their spiral to the ground Because I’ve already been to the bottom I know what it’s like to hit the ground Then lose all you have had But now is my chance to turn it all around Ill carry you up that spiral with not a look down I’ll help you rebuild your world again Then stay with you until our end Now no one will fear the spiral again Because they will always have a friend.
