Take The Bait

1st ENTRY

Stencil by; Keith McHugh

Falling into a cavern,

My patterns hold me down,

Drowning in the currents,

I'm taken from my consent,

Deeper and deeper I went,

Finding comfort in torment,

Learning to implement the tools,

Losing my way over and over,

Choosing to grow older,

My heart grows colder,

Another boulder to move,

Proving i move mountains,

A fountain of possibilities,

Springs up before me,

Seeing another way home,

Roaming the dark corridors,

Hidden within my core,

Revealing many more,

Unexplored patterns inside,

Slipping on pride,

I slide into another experience,

The interference has me shaking,

I'm making hasty decisions,

My vision over ridden by fear,

I peer passed my present,

Resenting what could've been,

If I hadn't fallen again,

In the dark I sit and wait,

For my patterns to take the bait.
