The Pit

I am in a pit of darkness,

and fighting firmly to crawl out.

I see a glimpse of happiness,

when my foggy mind

is clear of any doubt.

Then, I feel the light within me glisten & shine,

and for a moment, I am all fine.

For a moment, I can softly breathe,

and feel my chest become bravely light.

I can sense and smell life’s delight.

I yearn this feeling thus to last,

this intense desire,

so my lips can feel the kiss of fire.

When this elation,

this invigorating bliss

however, takes a flight,

I am fully back to the deepest chasm again,

to dance with the same lonesome pain,

slithering back to the dark light,

where there begins,

another dreadful night.
