Digging Holes

Digging holes

It seems, all my life

I've spent digging holes

For myself, then

I, looking up, from the bottom

Wondering why

I dug so deep

Or did I trip and fall in

While not paying attention

To my feet, walking blindly

Thinking somehow

The Universe will watch

Out for me

These dark holes in my head

Where no one wants to go

I don't want to live there
anymore, I climb out

Cover them up with dirt

And start looking ahead

This is very powerful and well written.
