The hole is in so


The hole is in so deep I can't get out

The hole I'm in is so dark I can't see where I'm headed

Stuck in this dark deep hole I scream out my lungs for help

Hoping to find a way out of this hole, hoping to find my way back up

Trying to do all I can think of, seems like I'm just digging a deeper hole

No matter what I do or say, it seems hopeless.

This is not how I want my life to end up like, in a deep dirty dark hole

A place where no future is held, a place so dark where love isn't present

A place so dark and empty that hope is hopeless, but I know

I have a future brighter than this hole, as I come to my knees staring at the night

I see a hand reach down to me, I jump for the hand and try to grasp it.

It grabs me, lifts me, and I come to light. Something so bright shining on my face

A light so bright it blinded, a voice so precious I come to tears. Giving me a leap of hope

Giving me grace and love sending me off on a bright paved road. With new hopes for a better future, and as I was placed on a brighter path. Words repeated in my mind “ I love you, you're my son, you will do good. Because im the maker of heaven. And I will make something beautiful out of you. “ and with this, I looked up to the light and walked down my path with new hope in my life.
