My Heart Fell into a big dark hole

I got out. I set myself free

My Heart Fell into a big dark hole

My heart fell into a big dark hole,

A place that swallowed me up whole.

The walls were steep, the air was thin,

A silent echo from deep within.

No light to guide, no hand to hold,

A chill that swept through my soul.

The ground beneath felt rough and bare,

A heavy weight of my despair hung there.

The faintly I heard a muffled sound,

A whisper soft from deep in the ground.

It spoke of roots that cling and climb,

Of steps to take, one breath at a time.

My heart fell into a big dark hole,

I knew I had to take control.

I made a choice to mystically rise up,

I went up in the sky, I raised above.

I floated, then I fell down to the ground.

In the hole dark and deep, I was lost.

Now on level ground. I am refound.

Choices made saved my life that day.

I raised myself up—now I am okay.

My head now clear, my heart at rest

I now see a future, so I can be my best
