I climb up a step

…and stand tippy toe

I can barely see the sky.. the world beyond these walls..

The colors are so bright.. they make me dizzy..

And everything swirlz in my head..

As I lose balance

And tumble down the staircase.. back at her feet

Back in my dungeon

Aching and broken

I keep an ear out for anyone that would cheer me on

Keep an eye out for any light along that staircase..

But it's pitch-dark

So dark that your mind starts playing tricks on you..

Looking back at my alternative.. I face the staircase once more

At least there's a sky out there…

And I take my first step
