The Hole

by Danielle8262

The Hole

It’s deep

Too deep

I can barely see the sunlight

My hands are bloody

My feet are sore

For some reason I must fight

It’s too late to climb out

I’m buried underground

“Stop digging” they whispered

But I must find a way out

Maybe I will get to the other side

A fresh start, a brand new life

Clink clink clink

A door, a trap door

Finally some answers

“Stop digging” they said

My feet felt like lead

Caution it read

And inside was a bed

Sheets folded up neatly

Pillows set to the side

Once I put this together

It’s the end of my ride

I lay down the sheets

Leaving no wrinkle astray

I place down the pillows

And then in it I lay
