I live within the dark abyss
I do not know it's depth
And everyday I'm wary
That I should not misstep
It is an endless cavern
A realm of vast extent
Should I lose myself and fall
I can't control descent
I hardly stumble anymore
I've learned to mark the ledges
And drag my hands along the walls
So I can find the edges
Everyday I start the climb
A captured soul ascending
And one day I will come to light
A tortured heart transcended

It's too bad things have to be this way, so true. Good work.

You know, the part about the realm of vast extent, it sort of reminds me of the existentialist "condemned to freedom" idea of Sartre and some of those guys. sort of like "lost in to great of liberty." But then the ending, a sort of tenacious groping for whatever ... a kind of promised land, maybe.

Nice movement from the depths of darkness to light...I loved the transition. These lines really stuck with me:

"Everyday I start the climb
A captured soul ascending
And one day I will come to light
A tortured heart transcended"
