Darkness wraps me in her cold embrace.
I'm falling through blackness, my sins I must face.
The rope hangs in sight, do I dare take hold?
Or do I fall into chaos? My fate unfortold.
The demons of my past spring from all around.
Their screaming and their scratching, the one and only sound!
I can't stand this torment, I will lose my mind!
Grab hold of the rope, above, what shall I find?
Reach out - So close I could taste it.
Lose Hope - I'm slipping, again I will waste it!
Embrace - This bittersweet feeling.
Rise Up - Break through the entombing ceiling.
As I touch the rope my hands rip and tear.
I'm screaming in agony from this new fear!
The blood makes me slip but I won't lose hope.
Aim for the heavens, climb this godforsaken rope!
Reach out - So close I could taste it.
Lose Hope - I'm slipping, again I will waste it!
Embrace - This bittersweet feeling.
Rise Up - Break through the entombing ceiling.
I'm so close I can taste it.
Then I slip, did I waste it?
Determination. Make up your fucking mind!
As I climb, freedom I will find!

Falling through a long, dark tunnel with a rope in the middle is something I visualized at a very young age. Sometime between the age of 7 and 12. The fall is meant to symbolize how I let go of all responsibility and my life, living only for fun and not caring for what I had to do.
The longer I waited before taking back control of my life, the faster I would fall and the deeper would the rope cut into my hands when I finally decided to grab hold of the rope (The more effort would have to be put into taking back cotnrol). High above await my dreams. The faster I climb, the nearer it gets, but my dreams too are ascending at a steady pace. Sometimes I would be close, I would reach out and think for a brief moment that I had made it, only to slip and fall back. No need to grief what's been done. Just climb the rope and try again. If I was close once, I can reach it next time... |
