in a hole
with no possible way to get out.
I try to think of ways that would end up with me
looking down at that hole and knowing I made it out.
But, even when it feels like I’ve made it out the next day
I’m back where I started and lately it feels like I can’t shake it off.
I need to pour dirt in the hole so there is no way to get back down there again
but only time will tell if I make it out of this hole with all that am still attached.
