The Pit

This pit Is getting deeper every day There's no way out I can't get out This blackness of sadness Covers me over Thick like wool Slick like oil It slides like a heavy tide Down my throat Suffocating my mind My heart My soul This pit Is getting darker ever day I can't see anymore I'll never see again These roots Are pulling me deeper every day Ripping away at my chest Tear and shred They never rest This pit Is getting deeper Darker Every day There must be a way out I'll find the way out
