Failure is a prison
  yet, I hold the key.
I must crouch and gravel in this cell
  for the ceiling is low
  and there is a pit below
that I have fallen in before...
  a bottomless depression.

I can feel the weight of pride.  The ceiling
  is getting heavier
  is getting hotter
  is getting lower.
If I stand, I am crushed
If am humble, I have lost
  and will never escape this cage.

The key is myself and I rely on it only
  For it is I who walk in
              I who walk out
        and I who built this sepulchre...

Wow. Your a master of words, reeling me into every letter. Do you think you have enough space in that cell for one more person.... say me?
