The Pit

21 8 3
                                    

You sit in a pit
Its walls suffocating
But the world outside
Its air nauseating

You hate yourself
Others throw you hooks
On each hook, they say
"You're amazing"

They mean it too
So badly wanting to see
You get out of the pit
But no hook reaches you

They see your magnificence
From far above
But inside the pit
It is black and dark

Its sad, really
So many throwing you bones
When the only hook that can get you out
Is your own
