Basement

I’m in the basement though not afraid

I sit in the dark with a single light

Lesson learned, the past I can’t change

I could have made a different choice

I took a u-turn on a already traveled road

I failed my conscious, my inner voice

I continued into my despair

I drowned myself in self-pity

I traveled to the dead end without a care

My suffering all to real, heart aching

I couldn’t leave the darkness of my pain

I couldn’t move ahead, my determination breaking

An abrupt halt trying to come up for air

Stranded, bodily injury

I’m in the basement, I put myself here

I sit in the dark with a single light

Though this road is shaded grey

This is my fight

In this basement time is slow

A journey to find myself

All the time to reach my inner sole

Time to love my existence

Only myself to lift my spirits

Standing on the road learning to give myself forgiveness

I made the u-turn to my weakness

Stranded, bodily injury

Some lessons though hard carry the most purpose

Though this road is shaded grey

Each step is forward, I’m getting stronger

When I rise I will know my way

My life will not be taken for granted

Me, myself and I it’s my life

I’m not afraid, I’ve conquered this basement.
