Pulling Yourself Out...
Pulling yourself out
From a pool full of pain
Laying flat on the edge
Til you start to breathe again
When you can, moving away
Though ever pulled toward
The dark, deep water
In the pain-filled fjord
The only way out is up
The path needed to be done
Though ropes tossed by others
The climb itself, for one
While climbing, you may slip
But you keep moving on
Upward, forward motion
Don't give up, though it's long
Keep looking up at the rim
Of the cliff that you climb
Your "people" are there, waiting
To greet you, giving time
That you need for your trek
See the ropes hanging down?
NOT the first to go through
They're above, on solid ground
Use The Force deep inside you
To push you ever on
All that's asked is forward movement
Yes, through time, some will be gone
But the ones that will still be there
That were not driven away
By your pain from the pool
Will be with you to stay
