Step by step I’m going down
a staircase to my inner depths
The deeper I go
the darker it gets
Familiar, yet strange places
I’ve never visited before
A hidden treasure chest
full of precious ore
The walls of this mine
cold and stark
Mirror the layers of my
heart’s own mark
Yet with every chisel
with each stone I turn
I unearth emotions and
lessons to learn
Deeper still
where darkness does bind
I face the echoes of an old weary mind
Yet it’s here
in the silence and vast unknown
That the purest of ores in me have grown.
And as I climb back
With each gem in my core
I find strength in the darkness
And shine evermore
