Confinement

Alone inside a cave with deep walls,
My strength and courage-
I hear them call.
A solid blackness completely surrounds
Blocking any light, and there is not any sound.
Struggling, I try, to climb again-
I can't believe there is not anything for grip.
Sliding down this slippery slim,
I can not get out-
Tears I cry tough is this bind.
Nothing below but this black hole.
Is this what it is like to lose your soul
I slip and slide-.
Slamming to the bottom, I am confined.
No one is going to find me here.
I am in this darkness, I feel utter fear.
Weeping and wondering why I am stuck,
How did I get here, down in this muck.
A streak of bad luck,
Lessons I need to learn,
Positive influences I yearn
Faith I have or at least I thought,
Pondering now, it must not be much
Pursuing up I will continue to try,
I can not give up or here I will die.
A prayer I say closing my eyes,
Getting to the heart what matters in my life,
Give me a chance to make my wrongs right.
Let me leave from here show me the light.
