Hollow

I just want to do better.

I need to pull myself out of this slump.

I have to find a way up this mountain

Of self-made doubt, worry, and pain.

I need to rise up from the valley

And choose to let the past go-

To refuse to stay where I have lain.

I must find a new direction

I long for hope in the horizon.

For if I stay here,

I will surely sink into this hollow

With my setting sun.
