I am in a pit looking up at the sky
How do I crawl out?
The sky is usually filled with dark clouds, hovering above me
Occasionally, the sun breaks through – when I hear the voice of my lover
But then, he is gone.
The clouds return.
And once again I am down in my pit staring up at gray clouds.
I know the way out of the pit….
But it has become my home.
I feel comfortable here, even though it’s cold, lonely and sad.
I wait for the sunshine to break through.
It comes…and goes.
I try to tell myself that I can survive in the pit.
Vague memories of living out of the pit remind me that solid ground is not much better.
Choices I don’t want to make
Stay in the pit waiting for sunshine
Or reach up for help and crawl out
What to do?
