No Retreat

To dive in with a rope tied around my waist  

Allowing my insight to be my light 

Im fueled with compassion and curiosity 

 

Frightful of what’s at the bottom I draw myself down to your cavernous truths 

Hoping to sneak in like an uninvited guest

so that I couldn’t see the clean up you’ve prepped 

 

Its farther then what I expected and the suspense seeps in with doubt 

 

In the moments that I panic, I tug my rope 

Remembering I decided to venture alone 

no one will pull me up 

If I truly want out I’ll have to climb up the walls

 

But I’m not one for retreat 

 

The pit steeps and my oxygen starts to diminish  

Almost to make sense of why my thoughts and actions are not aligned with the person I was on the surface 

 

The depth and time to be spent is unknown 

But my hopes is to find a way out from down below 

And maybe then I could crawl out with the version of you that been hiding too
