**A Shimmer In The Hole**
I take a look inside myself
Afraid of what I’ll find
A ting glint might still be there
To shiver down my spine
A tingling sensation
A ray of light’s in view
Something different startles me
I know not what to do

Do I let the walls come down and see what might come through?
Have I healed myself enough to really start anew?
A little bit of hope and a healthy dose of fear
I’m terrified of letting just a little light in here…

I’m coming through the worst of times
I didn’t want to breathe
Praying that this time the pain will be the end of me
A little ray of light breaks through
I know not for how long
Hope is such a fleeting thing
It seems so very wrong

Do I let the walls come down and see what might come through?
Have I healed myself enough to really start anew?
A little bit of hope and a healthy dose of fear
I’m terrified of letting just a little light in here…

A tiny bit of glitter
In a land so full of dark
A little spot of brightness
After I’ve fallen apart
A tiny bit of shimmering
Plodding through the days
Can that little bit of light get me through the fray?
