Bottomless Pit
Zacharey Willman 2006 (San Jose, California)
You, once an Angel, were offered something that’ll take your wings.
Your friends said “just try it”.
“What's there to lose?”
Never your friends but maybe devil in disguise.
But by the time you realize, it’s too late.
The devil chose you? Why? Because you have things going right?
He hates to see that and wants to drag you down.
Down into the abyss of the bottomless pit.
After months of falling and your family growing worried. A rope appears.
Could it be God giving you a second chance?
Either way you don’t hesitate.
You climb the rope and right when you reach the top.
It breaks.
To leave you falling deeper into a bottomless pit.
It wasn’t God, but the devil finding new ways to punish you.
Your family is no longer worried, they declare you gone.
You become frightened because there is no longer an entrance to the pit, just darkness.
All around. Everywhere you look. Nowhere to go.
