Into the Cave

Walking down the staircase of a long forgotten cave
Away from the sun, away from the shade
All is silent, except for a few droppings
Collecting in pools, from external reliance
The drops get louder as they hit the water
Echoing throughout the hollow matter
Need to keep going, to the light up ahead
Crimson reminders of something to dread
But going anyway, it’s the world you fell into
How or why it started, too late for what’s coming due
Just running along without any consequence
Following paths marked by convenience
When one day was different, but all still the same
If only you knew, who was watching your game
As you see yourself, nothing is new
Magnified forever, every eye becoming you
Into the cave, so dark and deep
All are going, from the world we keep
If you know it, your path is chosen
Alive and awake, this hell is broken
The place is getting hotter, but have to keep going
Only one direction left in these new surroundings
Why you do it, don’t have any choice any more
s all around you, tearing to the bone
When all is gone, existence is finished
If there’s anything left, believing will replenish
Tried to build it up, as much as possible over time
But fell so often, from that fruit on the vine
Floating up like the smoke from the ashes
Sitting at once in a chair of some guidance
Looking around, at this new found kingdom
Not much different, from which you came from
This isn’t real, you’re telling yourself
Where is the balance from all my struggle
When other forms appear, to ask what you mean
If what you say is true, the divine is allowed to speak
Into the cave, so dark and deep
All are going, from the world we keep
If you know it, your path is chosen
Alive and awake, this hell is broken
Why did I have to through such a wasted life
Everyone in chains, physical or mind in melt
Pulling the trigger, standing by, making far away plans
All in fear of the end of the sentence
Instead of evolving, learning how to grow
Then teaching to others, no need to hoard
For everyone knows that has gotten to this place
No need for anything replaced
But inside I feel I know is itself unique
From my own perspectives and what I tried to seek
Six crooked roads, but kept going to the one
But what could I do when always on the run
I tried when I could, when had anything extra
Even after given up what’s desired for asking
Increasingly in hope, but always in struggle
Nobody willing to go to the next level
Into the cave, so dark and deep
All are going, from the world we keep
If you know it, your path is chosen
Alive and awake, this hell is broken
And that’s when I realized more and more of the plan
That it doesn’t matter, just get busy and stand
Keep busy, making it up as you go
The rest are just spectators enjoying the show
But don’t worry, if acceptance isn’t granted
If you know it’s right and doesn’t harm what’s planted
Maybe others will see, and help when they can
Giving what’s needed, and all to understand
Into the cave, so dark and deep
All are going, from the world we keep
If you know it, your path is chosen
Alive and awake, this hell is broken
