I’m climbing
climbing the rope you gave me
the one you threw into the darkness
the one I’ve been looking for
for so long
so now I’m climbing that rope
the rope
rope of advice
at first I didn’t know how to use this rope
because every time I tried to climb it would break
but now I figured it out
in order for the rope to hold you
you must believe
believe in the advice that hold the rope together
I never used to believe in advice
and that was way the rope never worked
but now I believe
I believe in the advice
because I trust where it is coming from
so now every bit of advice
helps me climb out
out of the darkness
helps me survive each day
because them seem to be getting better
better and better each day
not by much but enough that I notice
for ever bit of advice
shines light on me
it lets me see
see that I am no longer in total darkness
I know I will always live in darkness
for that is just who I am
but it doesn't mean I can't enjoy the light
it doesn't mean that everything around me has to be darkness
it doesn't mean I have to be part of the darkness
I can be my own light
for life is nothing but mind over matter
I must first believe there is light around me and then there will be
