Entering The Cavern Of Grief

When it all began I felt lost and confused
All I've ever been has been devoured by despair
Help was out of reach, was my life put at risk?
I should have known that my past would catch up with me

I entered the cavern of grief
I never compromised my awry beliefs
Being forced to question my way
Opened my eyes, the fool faded away

I always thought I wandered harmless ways
But I've burnt myself, provoking my own fate

I was unaware
What was lurking inside
Darkness decaying the deep
Erasing my inner sense
I was too obtuse
To know what I have become
I have drowned myself
And was trapped alive
In my solitary shell
But now I have found myself

I entered the cavern of grief
I never compromised my awry beliefs
Being forced to question my way
Opened my eyes, the fool faded away
My salvation was not yet in sight
I fell into a bottomless hole

I have won this battle. Mighty earth was but a tempest, dark and savage
Through which, at times, a dazzling Sun would shoot
The thunder and the rain have made such ravage
My garden is nigh bare of rosy fruit
