I wish someone could rescue me from this awful place where I now dwell.
It is like I have been stranded at the bottom of an old abandoned well.

No one knows that I am stuck here, no one can hear me yell.
It is a cold and scary place, it is my own personal hell.

Here there is no light, only darkness and such awful pain.
I feel like I am sinking like water circling the drain.

I have been trying to find a way that I can climb out.
There is nothing to hold onto here, no one to hear me shout.

I did not want to come here, I was sent here without a choice.
The silence here is deafening, there is no sound, only my own voice.

I have been broken and have nothing more to give.
I have lost all the joy of life and seek the will to live.

I know how a seedling must feel as it is struggles to break through the ground.
I understand how one must feel slipping beneath the waves knowing they will drown.

This place I have been banished to holds nothing for me but pain.
I struggle to look up to the sky to see any light or to feel the rain.

In here there are no handles, no ladder, nor any kind of rope.
There is nothing in here to help me out, nothing to give me hope.

I did not understand it then and still don't understand today.
What is it I have done to deserve to be punished in this way?

Maybe tomorrow I will get rescued, someone will find me and I will be saved.
But if it happens that no one discovers me here, this pit might be my grave.

Maybe when the morning comes I will be able to see the sun.
If I can fight and claw my way out of here, this battle will be won.

I do not want to stay here in the darkness of this awful pit.
I want to find a way out of here so in the sunshine I can sit.

I am praying and begging, God, please, free me from this darkness.
