delusions of grandeur
swim through my brain
rescuing me from the depths where I've lain
the summit I climbed, a precarious place
the tide I did summon ripped me down on my face
like a toddler unbalanced
shaky and scared
determined to walk
hold my head in the air
I am cemented in place
I'm trapped and scared
the status quo is all I know
If I ever get out
I will stand on my own
solid frame
built from stone
for now I'll take baby steps, its all I can do
to escape from the blue
like serving a sentence
of life with parole
soon I'll be out
and I'll know where to go
