Weary

It feels as though I have fallen into a great pit

The earth beneath me has opened wide its jaws

Her teeth are as jagged mountains

I am lost on the foothills

The darkness has swallowed me whole

and I have found no peace amidst weary nights

My slumber is spent tossing and turning, avoiding the pain

I simply wish for all of this to go away

I see an escape close-by but fear has held on

It clutches at my soul begging for me to stay

I wish to run, I wish to hide

But the fire is what keeps me inside
